Aleysa Young of Untitled Films, Toronto, directed this spot which opens on a man knocking on the door of his ex-wife’s house late at night.
She opens the door, looks at her husband in disbelief and with mild disgust. “You know you can’t be here.”
He replies, “Wait, just hear me out. I know you left me because you think I’m a loser.”
The guy goes on to explain that this night he won, hoisting up a Cassie Award, which honors the best in Canadian advertising.
She is clearly unimpressed, and shuts the door in his face.
“Can I use the bathroom?” he asks.
A supered message appears which reads, “Your ex doesn’t care, but your client does.”
Agency is john st., Toronto.
