The Campaign

The film opens with Peter arriving at an old temple. Master Chung awaits him in lotus position, balancing himself on his thumbs. Peter is impressed. Cut to a silhouette of Chung in front of a blood red background. He strikes a gong. The training begins. Master Chung breaks a large concrete boulder with his thumb. Peter tries it too and fails. Next, Master Chung and Peter thumb wrestle. Master Chung overpowers his student as Peter flies through the room. We then see Peter doing pushups with his thumbs above a smoldering fire. He falls in. At night, Peter has a vision of a tiger, a bear and a cobra. In the morning, he has found new courage to continue. What follows is a montage of Peter’s training: hitting the concrete boulder with his thumb, again and again, season after season. Peter doing thumb pushups, at first scalding his skin and finally succeeding. When the two thumb wrestle, Peter launches Master Chung into the furniture. Finally, Peter succeeds in breaking the boulder with his thumb: the student has surpassed the master. The spot ends with a Call to Action for viewers to train their thumbs and master the Hello bank universe.
