Write a short summary of what happens in the film

This movie illustrates the flaws of father’s: being a little clumsy with messy hair, messing up the kitchen due to parental fatigue or the lack of timing and protecting the privacy of a pubertal teenager. Our twist: with this film we thanked mom’s for not being like dad’s. Of course, with a twinkle in the eye and a good sense of irony.

Please tell us about the social behaviour and / or cultural insights that inspired your campaign

There is no other date that emphasizes gender stereotypes more than Mother’s Day. Reinforcing the picture of self-sacrificing, stay-at-home moms annually. Therefor it was the perfect timing to put those stereotypes up for discussion. Especially since in Germany the counterpart Father’s Day celebrates clichéd manhood more than fatherhood. To show that those perceptions are failing or families short we produced a film that pushed the clichés to the limit and therefor was meant to incite uproar. The plan worked: people discussed the topic passionately. So we were able to reveal our hidden cause with a second film for Father’s Day. Now the previously outraged parents understood and thanked EDEKA for an openminded perspective.
