While people across 1990s Iraq struggle to survive the war and food shortages, Saddam Hussein requires each school in the country to prepare a cake to celebrate his birthday. Despite her efforts to avoid getting picked, 9-year-old Lamia is chosen among her classmates.

The young girl must now use her wits and imagination to gather ingredients for the mandatory cake or face the consequences.

The President's Cake on Fri 13 Feb 11:00 is an Elevenses screening. Get a free tea or filter coffee when you purchase a cake from the Café & Bar.
