Wadjda is a 10-year-old girl living in a suburb of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Wadjda sees a beautiful green bicycle for sale that she wants desperately so she can race her friend, Abdullah. But Wadjda's mother won't allow it, fearing repercussions from a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl's virtue. So Wadjda decides to try and raise the money herself.At first, Wadjda's mother is too preoccupied with convincing her husband not to take a second wife to realize what's going on. And soon enough Wadjda's plans are thwarted when she is caught running various schemes at school. Just as she is losing hope of raising enough money, she hears of a cash prize for a Koran recitation competition at her school. She devotes herself to the memorization and recitation of Koranic verses, and her teachers begin to see Wadjda as a model pious girl. The competition isn't going to be easy, especially for a troublemaker like Wadjda, but she refuses to give in. She is determined to continue fighting for her dreams ...Actors Waad Mohammed, Reem Abdullah, Abdullrahman Al Gohani, Ahd & Sultan Al AssafDirector Haifaa Al-MansourCertificate PGYear 2012Languages ArabicSubtitles EnglishDuration 1 hour and 37 minutes (approx)
