Koran recitation contest
During a Quran recitation contest at her school, a 10-year-old girl named Wadjda (Wad Mohammed) takes a stand against traditional gender roles in her conservative country. She challenges the prevailing social norms and hopes to win a hefty cash prize to buy her dream bicycle. But her plans are foiled when the school authorities refuse to help her, and she is forced to work with her mother instead.
Wadjda is an imaginative, confident Saudi girl who challenges the gender roles in her society. She learns about the dividing lines between the sexes, and tries to achieve a singing tone for her recitations. She also starts a little business making bracelets, and spends her money on a Playstation program that gives her Koran trivia questions.
Although this film is made in a foreign land, Wadjda is actually the first feature film directed by a woman in Saudi Arabia. The film was written by Haifaa Al Mansour and shot in Riyadh.
Mother's pressure to take a second wife
Despite the blatantly misogynistic nature of the movie, the visuals and technical credits do a fine job of serving the story and the themes. The film has been shown in selected theaters in Saudi Arabia, and it also has an international distribution potential.
The plot is the story of a 10-year-old Saudi girl who lives with her mother. The two have close ties. However, the mother is preoccupied, and is afraid that her husband will take a second wife. Her son is not born yet, and she is worried that the pressures of her husband's family will make him do what he does not want to do.
Wadjda's father is not involved in her life, and she spends most of her time with her mother. Her grandmother wants to find a second wife for her son. The woman is an ambitious and strict enforcer of sharia law. Her headmistress Ms. Hussa is impressed by Wadjda, and tells the other girls to look up to her as a pious, model girl.
Film's subdued and modest criticism
Despite the film's subdued and modest criticism of Saudi Arabia, it remains an important event in global film history. It is the first Saudi feature film ever to be shot. It is also the debut film by the country's first woman director, Haifaa Al Mansour. The film is set in the conservative kingdom and follows the life of a 10-year-old girl named Wadjda.
The movie begins with schoolgirls dressed in long black gowns reciting a religious chant. Then it flashes forward to a story about a contest held at the school. The winner will receive a thousand riyals. But when the girls begin laughing, they get in trouble. The principal is rumored to be having an extra-marital affair.
The film then moves into the streets of Saudi Arabia. A Pakistani driver drives past and projects the worst of the misogynistic behavior. The camera is always placed in an objective position.
Throughout the film, the camera is kept close to the characters. Unlike Iranian films, which play with strict Islamic beliefs, the filmmakers of Wadjda were able to capture the harsh realism of the Saudi society. The film's message is that repression can lead to rebellion.
