A hopeful and revealing look at the changing roles of women in Saudi Arabian society from groundbreaking director Haifaa Al Mansour (WADJDA), THE PERFECT CANDIDATE follows Maryam (irresistible newcomer Mila Alzahrani), a hardworking young doctor who is determined to fix the pot-holed, muddy road leading to her clinic. When her appeals for assistance are ignored at every turn by a dismissive male bureaucracy, Maryam finds herself inadvertently registering as a candidate for the municipal council. As Maryam’s creative and ambitious campaign builds momentum, she becomes a symbol for a larger movement, despite the community’s struggle to accept her as their town’s first female candidate. A modern tale of social change and progress, THE PERFECT CANDIDATE is told through with warm humor, rousing music and radical optimism.
