ME & AYDAROUS

Jude manages to coerce her disapproving family chauffeur, Aydarous, into taking her to meet a date, but he is not going to be deflected from letting her know he doesn’t approve. Harking back to 20 years to a time when young women in Saudi Arabia were more restricted than they are now, the film is entirely filmed in a cramped van: for many girls of that generation, the nearest thing there was to a private space, albeit with a chaperone. Over the course of a night, Jude must find creative ways to get rid of Aydarous so that she and her boyfriend can have some time together.
