Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Zahra Lari, the first competitive Emirati figure skater executed a daredevil stunt. Dangling under a helicopter from a rope, wearing her skates and a sky blue costume she was lifted 280m above sea level, traveling over the Dubai Skyline and the Palm Island. She hovered over “the Palm Tower”- the highest building on the Palm letting go of the rope, free falling 30m and landing on an ice ring on the top of the viewing deck of the “View at the Palm”. Immediately upon landing on the ice she effortlessly and seamlessly began performing beautiful choreography and breathtaking triple axels whilst the sun went down on the horizon behind the breathtaking views of the Palm Island.
