Brief Explanation

The film opens on three horses on a field of a horse farm, who are shaken with laughter. They’re actually almost dying of laughter. What’s so funny? A man in his car is desperately trying to back a horsebox trailer into a parking space. The more he tries – and fails – the more horses join in on the laughter. Eventually the driver gives up unnerved. While the horses are still trying to catch their breath, a new car with a horsebox trailer arrives: the new Volkswagen Tiguan. The driver uses the new Trailer Assist feature and steers the trailer right away into the parking space, without any problems. Leaving the horses to watch this yet unseen scenario in complete astonishment.
