Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We live in times where everything changes at the speed of light, and everyone tries to keep up with every fad. Choosing not to change is quite a statement. And that’s what the Unchangers do. They just like it how it is. They always say no to new. The Big Mac, with its 50-year-old recipe, is definitely one of them. In this 60-second commercial, we follow the Unchangers, who are truly themselves and stay true to themselves.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

In 2018 the legendary Big Mac turned 50 years old. In the past half-century, the Big Mac has become one of the most legendary products in the world. McDonald’s wanted to celebrate this icon with an iconic campaign with an unseen iconic insight. We created an all-round 360 degrees campaign which was kicked off by this 60-seconds commercial.
