Brief Explanation

The Caddy standoff. Volkswagen Caddy is by far the most sold commercial vehicle in Norway. For this film we asked real carpenters, plummers, electricians etc. to show up with their Caddys and join as actors for a different day at work. All cars are authentic, and represent real firms. At a construction sight, a bunch of workers are having lunch, when their bad ass boss suddenly enters the room, full of fury. Apparently one them has parked their Volkswagen Caddy in front of his car, and are blocking the way out. He wants the driver to reviele himself, and despite the possible consequenses, one of the workers stands up to take the hit. Then another one stands up, followed by one more, and in the end all of the workers are standing up against the boss. Togheter they march out to move their Volkswagens Caddys, as everyone is driving one, and all of them are blocking the way. Tagline: Norways´s most popular work place on four wheels.
