City of Life Page #4

Synopsis: A privileged young male Arab at odds with his cultural identity and his less fortunate street smart friend; a disillusioned Indian taxi driver who bears an uncanny resemblance to a famous Bollywood star; and a former Romanian ballet dancer now working as a flight attendant and searching for love and companionship ... these individuals all live in Dubai and their lives are about to collide for better or for worse in a city where ambition, growth and opportunity are encouraged and dreams can still manifest. "City of Life" is an urban drama that tracks the various intersections of a multi-ethnic cast, examining how random interactions and their consequences can irrevocably impact another's life. As the name suggests, City of Life's inordinately humane kaleidoscope of converging experiences introduces a city that is in itself a living pulsating character. "City of Life" ultimately reveals how unexpected tragedy and loss can lead to hope and profound transformation as it explores and expose

Hello Guy

So what were you doing at the ballet school?

I found it by coincidence.

I used to be a dancer.

Why'd you stop?

I didn't have a choice, I tore my Meniscus.

That's a tough break, I'm sorry.

SQ...

How did you get my number?

I had to sleep with your boss!

I hope Gunther wasn't too hard on you

Gunther was a perfect gentlemen.

He brought me a family meal

at KFC and after that, well,

I was all his.

I hope your wife was okay with that?

I'm divorced actually

Do you look after your daughter full time?

I would love to, but it's...

it's a legal thing.

Look, I got your number off Connie.

I just wanted to say thanks for being

so sweet to my daughter the other day.

She loves you.

Sure, it was a pleasure.

Are you MW?

I'm okay

I think...

happiness is overrated anyway.

How about a drink tomorrow night,

to say thank you?

No sorry l can't, I'm flying.

Who's Tariq?

You know, the rich guy with the Maserati.

And you, are you happy with what you're

doing?

Ah you know, it's advertising,

it's what I do and I'm good at it.

Sorry about that

Look...l suppose tonight's

out of the question?

Here's to overrated happiness.

Cheers.

Why not?

Shall we say seven?

Let's say seven.

Hello Papa, how are you?

Hello Papa, how are you?

Papa, did the money arrive okay?

I know, but I've been busy.
