This is a fantastic movie about women's oppression in the Arab Kingdoms. And these are the "lucky" ones! This is Wadjda, (2012) you can turn on English subtitles.
This optimistic movie was made by a woman director, Haifaa al-Mansour. She managed to film it in Riyadh, but because of the ban on women being seen associating with men not of their family, she faced great difficulties. She often had to direct from inside a van, talking to her crew by walkie-talkie!
It's a lovely film.
