Synopsis
Maryam is an ambitious young doctor working in a small-town clinic in Saudi Arabia. After she is prevented from traveling to Dubai in search of a better job, a bureaucratic mix-up leads her to stumble upon the application for her local city elections, and she decides to run. While she faces the restriction of women’s traditional roles in the Kingdom at every turn, Maryam’s audacious candidacy starts to build momentum and challenges her conservative community. From the director of WADJDA, THE PERFECT CANDIDATE is Saudi Arabia’s official submission to the 2020 Oscars for Best International Feature Film, and competed for the Golden Lion at the 2019 Venice Film Festival.
