City of Life Page #6

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

you telephone

and we go out and celebrate,

alright? No argument.

And this...this is for you.

Okay hurry up, go!

Peace be with you father

Peace to you too

Would you tell me what happened

on Jumeirah Road?

Don't know, what happened?

You know how small Dubai is

A friend of mine saw you

How many times have I

warned you about fighting?

It's pointless.

Give me the key to your car.

But father... it wasn't me!

Don't argue, you were seen!

Give me the keys I said!

I need to put an end to this

spoiled irresponsibility!

Faisal

I don't know why you humiliate me like this.

In the mosque people ask of you

"Where is your son? Why is he not at

prayer?"

Tell me what to tell them.

I'm sorry father.

Sometimes...

I feel you're a complete stranger to me.

Even though we have the same blood

running through our veins.

I'm tired...

of trying to put you in the best

clothes and in the best car.

But I won't accept you mining

everything I have built!

Do you think I grew up like this with ease?

No Faisal! No!

This is not the example I set for you.

You are an embarrassment to all Emirati's!

Where...

Where is your compassion

and sense of pride?

If your mother, God rest her

soul, were still alive...

she would be ashamed of your behaviour.

Raj sh'?

Mr. Raj?

Mr. Raj my name is Basu.

Sir, Mr. Khan sent me.

Mr. Khan?

Babu

You...can you sing?

I've been practicing for ten years sir.

Okay

Babu, take him to get ready.

You are on the show, 11 o'clock.

Thank you sir

Come on... quickly!

What's this boss?

It's a changing room.

To survive in this field you need talent.

Who's this?

It's Govinda. You'll learn.

Here, all the money is in tips

and only myself and Raj decides who gets it.

Come on, it's your turn.

What song do you want to play?

The "lkhtiyar" one...

The Peter Patel one, right?

Bloody carbon copy, come on!

- Mr. Rashid

- How are you?

- Mr. Faisal

- So nice to see you again

Please come with me,

your table is ready.

'In!

Champagne?

Just a glass, I've got a flight tomorrow.

- It's the usual Mr. Berger

The usual?

Well you know, I get dragged here

from time to time...

Clients.

This is to you...

I swear your face is going to

win us the account.

More like the make-up artist will.

Look, will you just take some credit?

Okay, they're making

commercials here all the time.

The phones have been ringing off the hook.

Think about it,

it could be a new start for you, you know,

a whole new life.

I don't know if that's for me.

But it was good fun the other day.

And you were brilliant!

I'm not twenty anymore.

The airline pays well and it's secure

and I really like my job.

You are frustrating.
