Wadjda (2012)

Wagada (Wade Mohamed Waad Mohammed), a 10-year-old girl living on the outskirts of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is optimistic and energetic. Although she lives in a conservative environment, little Wagada not only wears jeans and shoes forbidden by her teacher, but also listens to rock music. One day, after a fight between Wagada and the boy next door, Abdullah (Abdullrahman Al Gohani), he happened to see a brand new green bike on sale. From then on, Wagada was full of these two beautiful bikes and dreamed of buying it for a race with Abdullah one day. However, Wagada's mother (Lim Abdullah Reem Abdullah) is vehemently opposed to it. Because according to Wahhabi teachings, women are not allowed to ride bicycles, especially unmarried girls. The stubborn Wagada had to secretly find a way to raise his own money. She worked hard to sell homemade goods at school and signed up for a prize recitation competition for the Koran that she knew nothing about. However, social and religious constraints have always hindered Wagada, can she only succumb to reality?
