It’s nighttime in 1980s Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Glittery and glamorous heels climb out of cars. Women shrouded in traditional black abayas make their way into a wedding hall. There, they reveal what’s underneath: dazzling dresses and wild hair. Their true selves set free, unseen by male gaze.

Set amid a glittery wedding in ‘80s Saudi Arabia, this feminist short by the pathbreaking director Haifaa Al Mansour (Wadjda) offers a stunning peek into the realm of women: both worlds away from the male gaze yet mirroring the dynamics of Saudi society. Part of Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales series.
