Directed by Frédéric Planchon of Academy Films for agency adam&eveDDB, this spot from Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation brand shows how much fun life can be when we take play seriously.

From dustbins turning into basketball hoops and staircases converting into slides, PlayStation shows you that play is everywhere and in everything.
The action spotlights the joy and elation everyone can experience when they welcome PlayStation and a world of play into their lives.
