The film is about a young boy who falls in love with a girl at school. Instead of writing her love letters, he takes a less traditional approach. He cuts out the jokes from Monoprix packs at home, and then slips them into her locker at school. For example, he finds a pack of heart shaped biscuits. The joke on this pack reads: Little Hearts: perfect for making hearts melt. He cuts this out and slips it into her locker.

A boy falls in love with a girl at school. Instead of writing her love letters, he takes a less traditional approach. He cuts out the jokes from Monoprix packs at home, and then slips them into her locker at school. For example, he finds a pack of heart shaped biscuits. The joke on this pack reads: Little Hearts: Perfect for Making Hearts Melt. He cuts this out and slips it into her locker, along with many others. He continues giving her these cut-outs from the packaging, but one day he arrives at school to discover that she has moved away. Cut to ten years later. He is now at university. A beautiful woman opens her locker and a shoebox falls onto the ground, spilling a collection of Monoprix jokes. He runs to a Monoprix and finds one final joke on a packet of instant coffee: Better Latte Than Never.

This work is relevant for entertainment lions because it is a 4 minute short film with a vision beyond advertising.
Monoprix is part of pop culture in France. To continue to play this role, they need to do work that is bigger than advertising. That’s why this time, to celebrate their 85 years, we decided to make a short film that summarises the values of the brand.
