The challenge

New Murabba is a future downtown for Riyadh, so it needed to link itself to authentic customs in a way that showed continuity rather than a break with the past.

The idea

The film follows Saudi family customs from earlier times into modern life, making the point that authentic customs grow with people rather than age. Its line 'If we are good, our goodness comes from our roots' (إن طبنا، طيبنا من ساسنا) frames the project as growing from the same foundations. It ran on New Murabba's channels on 19 February 2025.
