[LuxFilmLab May: The President's Cake] 🎂✨

The President's Cake draws deeply from the director's own childhood memories of growing up in Iraq under heavy sanctions. Rather than making a purely political film, Hadi chose to craft a story that feels like a fable, yet remains firmly rooted in reality. The result is a breathtaking visual memory of a country and an era rarely seen on screen.

Discover this emotional journey at Ciné Utopia next Wednesday.
📅 May 6 at 8:00 PM.
