What It's About
Spoiler-free. Read the analysis below for the full argument.
Battal has been away from his Saudi office for months. When he returns to work, he finds the work environment has changed completely in his absence. He barely recognises the newly modernised office or his co-workers, who all seem to be new. English is now the primary language of the workplace, which comes as a complete shock. Can he learn to adjust to this new regime? A film that comes to grip with a very real dilemma in today’s Saudi Arabia, where an older generation can be disoriented by the pace of change
