This spot opens on a young boy, asleep in a bedroom decorated with airplane mobiles and a wall decorated like a school bus. As he dreams, a toy school bus in his bed comes to life, prompting the wall to pull away and wake the boy into a spectacular dream world, with echoes of Alice In Wonderland and Where The Wild Things Are.
The boy chases the school bus down a volcanic beach, surrounded by imposing cliffs and lush waterfalls before discovering a rabbit hole. He sticks his head inside to find himself peering into a cozy theater, where a man in a primitive turtle suit runs across the stage in slow motion.
The boy continues to race down the beach, now passing giant tortoises, before falling through clouds onto a giant dog sled where his parents await him. As they charge across a frozen tundra, the boy suddenly has hand-made wings that enable him to soar through the air. He dives into the roof of the school bus, which collapses into a parachute-like cloth that plunges him back onto the theater stage. Here, he races across a makeshift finish line as his parents proudly applaud. The spot closes as a smile spreads across the face of the still slumbering boy with the tagline: “Dream…as fast as you want to be.”
“Mehirut” is one of two Pelephone spots in a package for Tel Aviv agency Warshavsky & Adler Chomski/ACW Grey, directed by Tel Aviv-based Eli Sverdlov who is handled by production house BRW USA.
