The Old School is a Saudi comedy film that tackles the very real and relatable dilemma of generational displacement in a rapidly changing workplace. After months away from his Saudi office, Battal returns to find his familiar world completely unrecognizable — a modernized workspace, an entirely new set of colleagues, and English now the dominant language of the office. Disoriented and out of his depth, Battal must decide whether he can adapt to the new order. The film offers sharp and sympathetic social commentary on the pace of transformation in contemporary Saudi Arabia, where older generations increasingly find themselves navigating unfamiliar cultural terrain.
