FilmAzza
Germany2025documentary89'The eponymous character is a driving instructor in a country where, until recently, women were not allowed to drive. At the same time, she is a victim of another Saudi law – after the divorce, it was her husband who took custody of their children. In her new relationship, Azza makes an unusual attempt to fend for herself and embarks on a journey into the desert. This is when a completely different film begins – one about a sense of freedom, a return to one’s own roots and the slowly progressing changes in tradition. It also depicts the friendship between the heroine and the documentary director, who belong to completely different cultures.
