Penny, Germany’s supermarket chain, encourages reconciliation at Christmas in a new campaign from agency Serviceplan Campaign. Centerpiece of the campaign is this two-minute film titled “Der Weg” (“The Path”) directed by Chiara Graymayr, a.k.a. Chiara, via production house Stink.
With the tagline “However long the path might seem,” the film introduces us to a mother who misses her daughter after they had a falling out. The mom overcomes psychological obstacles to reconcile with her daughter–her journey traverses a metaphorical path through snow, ice and a menacing forest to finally reach her daughter’s home. They happily reconnect, affirming that Xmas is a time to heal wounds and come together.
