My Driver and I

MY DRIVER AND I is a coming-of-age story centering on two people who, on the surface, seem worlds apart - a young Jeddah girl (Salma) and her immigrant Sudanese driver (Gamar). Salma and Gamar are different in terms of gender, race, age and culture, yet over the course of the ten years during which Gamar drives Salma every day, they form a bond more constant than most of their friendships and stronger than most family relationships. However, as Salma begins to spread her wings during her final year of school, this bond is tested, bringing their opposing economic circumstances and social positions to the forefront.
