This instinct of sacrifice was given Ramadan relevance by scripting an emotional story around the central characters of a self-sacrificing mother and her young, eager daughter during the month of Ramadan. As the daughter shows compassion and maturity towards the sacrifices her mother makes, we showed how Ramadan is a time to strengthen this special relationship – A bond of sweetness. While ‘Ramadan sprit’ is more personal, inwards and revolves around one family, The concept of sharing & caring covers a bigger base as it dwells within the horizon of families. It’s an honest approach that tells the audience that sharing responsibility with your love one can create a far reaching effects in the relationship that we all need badly. Apart from showing brand traditional positioning mother and daughter friendship togetherness and a bond of sweetness It helps brand to stands out as a warm, caring and very human brand.
