Brief Explanation

Every year around 40 million people in the Middle East get the flu virus. We open on a series of scenes with smart edits of the traditional way of trying to relieve the cold and flu symptoms with home remedies or some treatments. We come in as Dettol the brand that is the champion of health and the partner of mom and society in calling for prevention is best and encouraging to use Dettol productions for both surface and personal wash disinfection to kill 99.9% of germs including the flu virus. Prevention is the best cure.
