A ten-year-old girl named Wajda (played by Waad Mohammed) lives in the suburbs of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. She is optimistic, cheerful, and full of energy. Despite her traditional and conservative environment, Wajda not only wears jeans and sneakers, which are strictly prohibited by her teacher, but also loves listening to rock music. One day, after getting into a fight with her neighbor Abdullah (played by Abdullrahman Al Gohani), she happens to see a brand-new green bicycle for sale. From then on, Wajda is obsessed with this beautiful bicycle, dreaming of one day buying it to race against Abdullah. However, Wajda's mother (played by Reem Abdullah) strongly opposes this idea. According to Wahhabi teachings, women are not allowed to ride bicycles, especially unmarried girls. Stubborn Wajda has no choice but to secretly find ways to earn money. She works hard selling homemade goods at school and even signs up for a Quran memorization contest, despite having no prior knowledge. However, societal constraints and religious restrictions continuously hinder Wajda. Is she doomed to surrender to reality?
