Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The series of films forms a poetic and minimalistic ode the places we love. Small moments, slices of life, all ending with an aphorism about the value of being “here”.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

In the very particular context of the first lockdown exit in France, Volkswagen launched this campaign along with a dedicated offer to celebrate our new-found freedom and the return of the simple joys of life.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.

In order to adapt to the lockdown situation, the films were all produced in-house. There was a very clear direction for each scene : still shots of outdoor places with minimalistic slices of life, all at once insignificant, poetic and happy.
