Will It Even Fit — Riyadh Boulevard

Same street, half the speed. This time they stop at the first dessert counter and don't leave for a while. Dumplings going gold in oil, a ribbon of date syrup in slow motion, cheese pulling away from a slice of pastry, cream chopped and rolled on a frozen plate. Abdullah takes one that's far too hot and far too sweet and immediately takes another. Then, across the road, a game he is simply not good at. Three attempts, three misses. Omar steps up without being asked, clears every target in one run, takes the biggest prize on the wall and puts it straight into Abdullah's arms without looking at him. Twenty episodes. That's how he says it. Episode 20 of HAJIMETE, a continuing anime series shot vertically in 25-second films, following a first journey across Saudi Arabia. Japanese audio. Subtitles in Arabic, English, Spanish and Turkish.
