Write a short summary of what happens in the radio advert

In our spot „Rumpelstiltskin“ we tell the story of the (famous) fairy tale character Rumpelstiltskin in the present time. Since nowadays hardly anyone is interested in him anymore, he starts to drink more and more alcohol. Finally he is completely addicted to strong liquor and his life is messed up. We end the spot with a call to fairy tale characters like Rumpelstilzchen not to be forgotten and refer to Heymanns Bookstore wide range of fairy tales.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

Rumpelstiltskin, Mother Holle and Snow White are well-known fairy tale characters of the Brothers Grimm. The most famous fairy tale authors and publishers in europe. Nevertheless, it is possible that the figures are not known in very few parts of the world.

Script

The Spot “Rumpelstiltskin”. (Sfx: Music in the background.) (Man:) Once upon a time there was Rumpelstiltskin. (Rumpelstiltskin: “Yeah”) A little guy who liked that no one knew his name. But at some point nobody was interested in him anymore. Then the mood changed. (Sfx: dull clubmusic, Bouncer: “Guest list only ... name?” Rumpelstiltskin: “Take a guess.” Bouncer: “Get lost, dwarf!”) And while rum previously was just a part of his name ... it became more and more part of his life. (Rumpelstiltskin: “Today I’ll bake, tomorrow I’ll distil high strength booze.”) Back in the days Rumpelstiltskin was dancing around the fire ... nowadays he just lies next to it in the bushes. (Rumpelstiltskin: Zzzzz). While he once wanted no one to find out his secrets ... today it would be impossible to even understand them. (Sfx: campfire, Rumpelstiltskin: “For little knows my royal dame that ... öh ... äh ...”) And all this, just because nobody cared about him anymore. (Off:) Don’t let Rumpelstiltskin be forgotten.
