In Tala Alharbi's short fiction Jareesh Salam, the story revolves around 11-year-old Salma. When her mother throws out the red football that her late father gave to her, Salma challenges the neighborhood boy who finds it to a match. In a battle that goes beyond the dusty football field, Salma's fight to reclaim her property becomes a defiant struggle against the expectations of her community and family in early 2000s Saudi Arabia.
