I Want to be Understood & Ignored, is a 2019 Saudi movie, directed by Shadi Rabahi. with a runtime of 13 minutes.
I Want to be Understood and Ignored is a dramedy following Shadi, a 27-year-old stand-up comedian wrestling quietly with strange tendencies that define his inner life. The people closest to him orbit his secret from different angles: his best friend knows and tries to help, his girlfriend pushes for commitment hoping it will fix their intimacy, and he keeps returning to his barbershop — far more often than any haircut warrants. Witty, melancholic, and unexpectedly tender, the film is a small story of self-acceptance and the longing to be truly seen — and simultaneously left alone. A sharply observed portrait of a young man navigating identity, connection, and the contradictions of wanting two opposite things at once.
