Synopsis:
Three fascinating characters live in modern Dubai – a privileged young Arab man at odds with his cultural identity, a disillusioned Indian taxi driver who looks like a famous Bollywood star and a former Romanian ballet dancer searching for love and companionship. These people are about to collide for better or for worse in a city where ambition, growth and opportunity are encouraged and dreams can still be realized.
True to Dubai’s cosmopolitan makeup, the cast includes Romanian actress Alexandra Maria Lara, Northern Indian actor Sonu Sood, UAE nationals Saoud Al Ka’abi and Habib Ghuloom, British-based Jason Flemyng, Natalie Dormer and Susan George, Canadian-Iraqi rapper The Narcicyst, Egyptian-American comic Ahmed Ahmed, and Mumbai-born Jaaved Jaaferi.
City of Life is an urban drama that tracks the various intersections of a multiethnic cast, examining how random interactions and their consequences can irrevocably impact another’s life. As the name suggests, City of Life’s humane kaleidoscope of converging experiences introduces Dubai as 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 exposes the complex network that exists in an emerging multicultural society’s race, ethnicity and class divides.
Random interactions have added unforeseen insights in to issues and opportunities. I value them as part of the enrichment of life.
would love to win this. Sounds so fascinating!
Tanja – don’t forget to answer the question for your chance to win!
random interactions greatly impact me becos i got to know something that evovle around other people life never evolve around me.sometimes i m surprised!
Travelling around the globe always opens up random interactions for me with people from different backgrounds. I’ve come to learn alot about appreciation of several things, meanings and experience diversity overall. Just recently I was in a bazaar environment when in the middle of the market an elderly man was teaching any onlooker on how to think smarter it was open to all that would listen he then saw the way I was drinking my water which is usually gulping and told me that if I hold water properly and think it will do good for me then the water will be more satisfying and better for me
as it has positive and negative energies.
Random interaction gives live its colour! Days would be beige without it.
A random interaction with 4 people at a hostel in LA drinking beers in the courtyard led to us being cast as extras in a Film students movie named “The Italian”. This has lead to some great friendships with people who I would otherwise never have known =)
(Lol I can send you the link to the trailer, where blink and you’ll miss us in the background drinking beers!!)
A random conversation with a guy from an Economics tutorial at Uni was actually the first time I met my future husband… just didn’t know it at the time. Without meeting him, I wouldn’t have gone to live and work in Japan, I wouldn’t have the children I do now and I probably never would have found out so much about Basketball!!
