City of Life Page #5

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

Get in the car!

Man, you saw their faces?

Where you running? Come back!

Don't mess with me again you clowns!

Khalfan, what are you doing?

Lost your mind?

Don't remember him?

He flicked me off!

That's great!

But what if the cops came?

Did you not think about my "name"?

My reputation?

R" You name",

What am I, a piece of sh*t?

Khalfan, stop messing around

and think about your

future for a change

Stop fighting in the middle

of the street and find a job!

What made you so perfect

all of a sudden?

Since when do you have a job?

Since now!

From when the old man told me he'll

take everything from me if I didn't.

Which means I represent

the family name now.

I have to think about

more than just myself.

That's all I do?

Just think about myself?

Stop the car!

- I just...

- Stop the car!

Khalfan!

I would have done anything for you!

Go to hell

Hey, Natalia

Hey, Guy. How are you?

Good, I'm good.

I'm just about to shoot an Ad and

we've got a very big problem.

The campaign I've been working on

for weeks,

I've been dreading

and the models gone AWOL.

And you would be perfect for it.

Listen it'll only take two hours,

it'll be fun and more importantly

you'll be getting me out of a hole

the size of the Grand Canyon.

Please Natalia don't say no.

I'm really sorry Guy but I can't.

I've got a flight at six that I cant risk missing.

- Mr. Berger!

Give me two minutes!

No, you see that's the thing.

You'll definitely make it,

you don't need to get ready, just get here,

we've got everything here

and it'll be well paid and...

oh please Natalia, I'm begging you...

Phase?

- Please, please!

Excuse me sir

Excuse me, is it a Bollywood shoot?

Come here

Come here

Here, over here to me

Saab

Saab

Look who came?

Really?

Hey buddy!

Come with me!

Come

Sir!

Sir!

Peter Patel is ready for his shot, sir.

Oh my God!

Unbelievable

That's fantastic

Why are you standing here?

Go backstage to the tent

you can relax there.

Sir, I brought my photographs to show you...

It's 0k... it's ok

Why so modest?

Who doesn't know you?

The whole world knows you.

Listen up!

Didn't I say that Peter Patel

was useless.

Didn't I?

...but today he will be useful!

He'll drop me home in his taxi after work.

Cam era...cut!

And that is a wrap.

Around of applause for Natalia please!

YOU were awesome.

- Thank you brother

- Thank you

Okay, let's get here changed and

let me know the gate is good?

Okay, we've got a car waiting for you.

And we will have you out of here in no time.

Thank you so much you saved my life.

You're wonderful, I love you.

Hey angel chop, chop.

We don't want you to miss your flight.

Now, as soon as you get back,
