Everything, Tonight — Riyadh Boulevard

Straight out of the stadium and into a street made entirely of light. Screens the height of buildings. Food stalls in every direction. Bumper cars, claw machines, a drop tower at the far end. Abdullah makes the same declaration he made at a restaurant table six episodes ago — everything, all of it, tonight — and this time it costs him nothing. Omar gets completely hooked on an arcade cabinet and feeds it again without looking away. And Ali, who has taken exactly one photograph per episode for eighteen episodes, stands in the middle of the crowd turning on the spot and cannot stop pressing the shutter. Episode 19 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.
