Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film

A group of young men chilling at home ask "Sirine" (the phone AI) for directions to the nearest burger place. Talking to "Sirine" inspires the rest of them and leads to a series of endless requests "Sirine tell us a joke", "Sirine dance the floss", etc..

Sirine, overwhelmed by all those requests, resorts to a KitKat break.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Reliance on technology in the Middle East is amongst the highest in the world. In the UAE, the number of mobile connections (January 2021) was equivalent to 171.6% of the total population!

The overall context of our campaign was a jab at the fact that maybe, technology needs a break from us. We then created stories around universal truths. In this case: a group of friends asking Siri non-stop questions from where to order food to music requests...overwhelming Siri.

An additional note: asking Siri specific questions (in Arabic), provides specific answers...at the time this was trending in the region and we developed this execution to ride on this.
