Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We shot a series of two sequels to the current (American) TV commercial,where mom doesn't receive appreciation from her family for the delicious breakfast with Nutella. So, the first part remains the same but after her family leaving and her ironic comment «Bye, mom. Thank you for breakfast , mom" the video stops and the famous Russian comedian Garik Kharlamov shows up. He encourages men to make breakfast pancakes to their ladies and serve them in bed as Maslenitsa falls on International women's day hence it is a good reason to do so. What a present it would be.

Therefore, for example, in the adaptation of the global video for Russia in the end mother took a bag and left the kitchen.

So we launched a series of two sequels for the classic global campaign starring the famous Russian comedian Garik Kharlamov, where he inspired men to make breakfast pancakes with Nutella by themselves to their beloved ones and serve them in bed. Of course, we knew that we were expecting too much from men. That's why in collaboration with the leading food delivery service
