Write a short summary of what happens in the film

HORNBACH is known for their massive product range. So massive that people tend to forget that there's more to a great DIY store: Amazing service. The HORNBACH Interconnented Retail services entail a series of various online and offline services for the DIY-er, such as a professional wood-cutting service, transporter rental, reserve & collect, machinery rental and many, many more. Sounds like a dry subject? Can you communicate such a factual message and still show a sense of humor? HORNBACH accepted the challenge to visualize the perfect interplay of the Interconnected retail services with a cinematic, rapid camera ride through their massive markets, only coming to a halt when we are right in the middle of the service in question. Paired with visual comedy and the typical dry HORNBACH humor, the ride through the services ends with a thought-provoking, crucial question: What would your project be ... without HORNBACH's Interconnected Retail?

Cultural/Context information for the jury

For years, HORNBACH has communicated the heroic myth of those who build with their own hands. That’s what people know them for, if not their massive product range and affordable prices. But something that has not been advertised or talked about much in HORNBACHs communication is their services. This campaign changes that, in a striking and entertaining manner.
