Gifts have a magical power of ending misunderstandings of various proportions, from a couples’ fight, to wars between countries, and everything in between. This work is relevant to film because it delivers on that insight with a simple campaign idea which is using famous movie genres and see through them that if a gift from floward works on the most evil of villains, then for it to work on any of your loved ones will be a walk in the park, and it does so in a cinematic well crafted way while staying true to the film medium.

Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Since getting the copyrights for recreating a famous scene from a famous gangster movie like snatch or goodfellas would have quadrupled the budget, so the directorial creative decision here was to recreate certain famous tropes from the genre with all the aesthetic and the craftsmanship without copying a specific scene from a show or a film.

So, in the mood of goodfellas and casino, we see the famous car-wire-whacking scene, a mafia boss who was about to whack one of his gang members spares him because he remembers his birthday and sends him a card and a gift from floward.

With a clean slate of the year including 3 major sales driving events Valentine’s, Mother’s Day & Season’s greetings (example Ramadan for Arab countries and Christmas) , the campaign needs to drive awareness to the to the new brand look and offerings in a unique way that caters to different countries of operations with different backgrounds.
