To illustrate that Flytoget is the fastest way from town to Oslo Airport, this spot for the express train turns its route into a roller coaster, with one family feeling the full impact of speed on their way to a vacation.
Directed by Martin Werner, produced by production house Bacon (Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm) and made with Oslo agency Try, the film is a wonderfully absurd take on the simple value proposition of getting to the airport quickly.

This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
