Birthday celebrations become a battleground for body-image in this short. CAKE follows a girl鈥檚 journey navigating through birthday celebrations from blowing out candles to cutting slices of cake - the most mundane of activities is not as sweet as she once thought.

Flo Cornall鈥檚 spoken-word film unravels the turbulent relationship between food and the body. CAKE captures a coming-of-age narrative, which builds and breaks the rose-tinted lens of society鈥檚 expectations and how one might crumble under its unrelenting pressure. There鈥檚 no set recipe for learning to love yourself. This film acts as a rallying cry for people to reconsider their judgements towards weight and take the brave step towards celebrating their bodies, whatever shape it takes.
