What is life like for people living in one of the world’s most conservative and richest countries? Saudi Arabia – The West examines and finds answers to this question in Jeddah, a port city on the Red Sea, for example, were the ballerina Jumana dreams of being allowed to perform publicly, one day, while young Ali makes the pilgrimage to Mecca once a year, to purge himself. In the mountains of Asir, people prefer to remember the traditions of their forefathers, before the Saudi royal family became almighty, when the oil was still hidden deep beneath the desert sands.
