Arabian Affairs
Dubai Connections
Our brand new project
The basic idea
The 10 – part film series ARABIAN AFFAIRS – DUBAI CONNECTIONS is to be shown on the streaming platforms of NETFLIX, AMAZON etc. It is an exciting mixture of a love affair between a German woman and an Arab man, but also a crime thriller, because it is about a lot of money and power and a place of wealth, like DUBAI, naturally attracts from all countries those who believe there is something to get here, even in a criminal way.
The main protagonists KARIMA and JULIA also stand for social differences and respective sensitivities, but also for the fact that feelings and love can overcome all differences.
The actual main characters are, among others, the fantastic settings in the electrifying metropolis of DUBAI and its exotic surroundings. In addition, the series offers action and exciting, highly entertaining stories from “1000 and one nights” for the whole family. Of course, this film series is also a great advertisement for DUBAI and the Arabian
“WAY OF LIVING”.
The concept
It is the contrast between the Arabic and the European world that is the attraction in this series. The exotic flair of DUBAI in contrast to the typical German financial capital FRANKFURT is just as invigorating and exciting as the 2 main protagonists – JULIA, the German tourism manager and KARIMA, the son of a well-off Arab business family, who come from different worlds, but begin to know and love the other world and origin.
The series shows the Arab world, characterized by tradition and progress. We experience special locations in Dubai, such as museums, old neighborhoods, fish market, shipping and also the future project DUBAI 10X…
KARIMA has the ambition to prove to his heavily rich father that he can become successful on his own. To do this, he risks a lot on the stock market and gets involved in risky business. This eventually leads to great difficulties and dangers. JULIA is the department manager of an international tourism company. She travels all over the world and therefore she has only few lasting relationships. When she meets KARIMA she realize how lost and without solid ties she is jetting through the world. She is determined to change that and take some time off to get to know KARIMA and life in Dubai better. Besides happy moments JULIA suddenly is kidnapped. A chase begins, through the entire Arab Emirates…
