10-year-old Wadjda wants nothing more than a bicycle. Unfortunately, in the conservative Islamic country of Saudi Arabia, women of all ages are forbidden from steering anything with wheels. It is considered offensive. But this doesn't stop Wadjda from trying anyway. When a Koran-quoting competition is held at her school for a lot of prize money, Wadjda believes she has found her strategy to buy a bike.
