Wadjda (2012) (original) (raw)
A rebellious Saudi Arabian girl hatches a plan to get her hands on the bicycle she craves, in this coming-of-age tale. Living within a conservative suburb of Riyadh, fun-loving eleven-year-old Wadjda has her heart set on a green bicycle, so that she can beat the boys in their neighbourhood races. But when her mother forbids it, anticipating a reaction from a society that disapproves of women riding bicycles, an enterprising Wadjda decides to raise the money herself, by entering a local Qur'an-reading competition that's offering a cash prize.
