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.

Other movies

HIJRA

Director: Shahad Ameen

A grandmother and her two granddaughters journey from Taif to Mecca. When the eldest granddaughter vanishes, the two remaining women travel north to find her, with their search highlighting the deep cultural and generational bonds between Saudi women. Set against the backdrop of the Hajj pilgrimage, Hijra portrays the intimate and emotional odyssey of these women, which evolves into a spiritual quest. Their journey carries the weight of an entire heritage and offers an emotional, powerful and insightful look at identity. Shot across eight Saudi cities, the film provides a deep dive into the nation’s rich cultural tapestry. Actress Khairia Nazmi infuses the story with profound emotion due to her strength and energy.

THE FURIOUS

Director: Kenji Tanigaki

A martial arts epic from action choreographer-turned-director Tanigaki Kenji, The Furious unites a cast of pan-Asian stars — including Xie Miao (The New Legend Of Shaolin), Joe Taslim (The Raid: Redemption), Jeeja Yanin and Yayan Ruhian — in a brutal yet emotional fight for justice. Set in an unnamed Southeast Asian country, it follows a father and a journalist as they take on a human trafficking syndicate in search of their missing loved ones. Produced by Bill Kong (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), with fight sequences choreographed for raw authenticity, the film pays homage to the golden age of Asian action cinema while pushing the genre forward. Gritty and powerful, The Furious is a masterpiece in its genre and a must-watch for martial arts fans.
