​
​ Iraq, 1991: 9-year-old Lamia lives in poverty with her grandmother, in a marshland village of rush-built homes. Disaster strikes when she is selected by her school to make a cake for Saddam Hussein’s birthday. Against the odds, she sets out on a determined journey through the big city in search of ingredients. A compassionate, tragicomic film balances light and dark in its child’s eye view of the moral collapse resulting from poverty and authoritarianism.
