Write a short summary of what happens in the film

In our TVC we are taking people onto a fast journey into a crazy, colorful world, celebrating the powers of our new product – and the fact that we get to keep the items that we love. We see a guy repairing a cable with Loctite Kintsuglue. While he is looking at the result, he is being catapulted into a colorful new world. A song starts (“It’s perfect”), Kintsuglue Girl (a Japanese girl sitting on a throne), dancers and our guy are celebrating the product and its benefits.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

The concept as well as the product name were inspired by an old Japanese tradition. Kintsugi is the ancient technique of repairing broken porcelain with gold lacquer added to the glue. The philosophy behind Kintsugi is one that not only values the object, but also its imperfections, seeing them as something beautiful. By embracing this attitude, our new campaign motto was born: “It’s perfect”.
