Brief Explanation

This film unfolds how Saudi millennials really look, act and behave nowadays, as real as it gets. They express in all shapes, forms, words, sign language, colors, a move & love. Rabea's Tea product called "Express" shares with the youth their wonderful "expressions", the supers literally say “Express” in Arabic (a transliteration of “Express” in English: a spelling trend that has been commonly used online in Saudi, connecting with young people who consume content in English). For example, it says “Express Online” (transliteration of both words) when the lady is using Snapchat filters and “Express Offline” when the guys are dancing in the streets and doing other stuff. Keeping the Word Express in English at the center of our communication hammers on the product name "Express" while giving a modern, hip dimension to the film.
