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.
