Wadjda - by Haifaa Al-Mansour (2012)

WADJDA is a 10-year-old girl living in a suburb of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Although she lives in a conservative world, Wadjda is fun loving, entrepreneurial and always pushing the boundaries of what she can get away with. After a fight with her friend Abdullah, a neighborhood boy she shouldn't be playing with, Wadjda sees a beautiful green bicycle for sale. She wants the bicycle desperately so that she can beat Abdullah in a race. 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…

Wadjda est une jeune fille saoudienne de douze ans. Elle vient d'un milieu conservateur. Cependant, Wadjda écoute de la musique rock, porte des Converse et des jeans. Mais un jour, sa vie change alors qu' elle aperçoit un vélo. Malgré l'interdiction faite aux femmes d'avoir un vélo, elle s'inscrit au concours de récitations coraniques de son école pour obtenir le premier prix : elle aura ainsi, la somme tant espérée pour acheter le vélo et faire la course avec son ami Abdallah.
