Brief Explanation

The film showcases a series of iconic Dubai Shopping Festival moments in an up close & personal form. Different people enjoying different colours and offerings of the festival, in their own way. From a morning abra ride on the Dubai Creek to a lazy afternoon on the beach, from the best of shopping to a daughter and father at the fun fair to a woman losing the track of time at an open-air concert… the film along with the narrative constructs a crescendo of emotion raising one question: How does it feel to be in the best of the best?
