  • "An enterprising Saudi girl signs on for her school's Koran recitation competition as a way to raise the remaining funds she needs in order to buy the green bicycle that has captured her interest. 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. Wadjda sees a beautiful green bicycle for sale that she wants desperately so she can race her friend, Abdullah. But Wadjdas mother wont allow it, fearing repercussions from a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girls 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 whats 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 isnt 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."
  • "Ten-year-old Wadjda is determined to prove that she can race bikes just as well as the boys, something not everyone is willing to accept."
  • "Wadjda (10) woont in Saoedi-Arabië en wil heel graag een fiets, alhoewel dit voor vrouwen niet gebruikelijk is. Om aan het geld te komen doet ze mee aan een Koran-reciteerwedstrijd."
  • "Die zehnjährige Wadjda wünscht sich sehnlichst ein Fahrrad. Obwohl das Führen von Fahrzeugen Frauen in Saudi-Arabien nicht erlaubt ist, lässt sich Wadjda nicht von ihrem Wunsch abbringen. Um das nötige Geld aufzubringen, nimmt sie an einem Koranwettbewerb ihrer Schule teil. Der feinfühlige Debütfilm der saudischen Regisseurin baut auf dem Wunsch und der Beharrlichkeit von Wadjda auf und zeichnet dabei ein differenziertes Bild der saudi-arabischen Gesellschaft. Er wurde mit dem Publikumspreis am int. Filmfestival von Freiburg 2013 ausgezeichnet. (Quelle: Homepage von éducation21)."
  • ""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."@en
