About the Work
Situation:
Young adults were among those who suffered the most during the pandemic – especially in Germany. Faced with two years of repeated homeschooling, contact restrictions and long periods of on and off lockdowns, they missed out on so many significant experiences of growing up. As a food supplier, PENNY is close to the everyday lives of its customers and wanted everyone to finally acknowledge the difficulties experienced by young people.
Idea:
A Christmas wish becomes a plea for youth. In our film, a teenager asks his mother what she wants for Christmas. Her unusual answer reveals what an entire generation has been missing for two years: "I just wish you'd get your youth back”.
Solution:
From the oppressive and lonely Corona everyday life we dive into the youthful rollercoaster ride of emotions. The sound design is nestled in the extremely reduced melody of Bon Jovi's "It's my life". At the beginning still quiet, intimate, reserved, the sound builds up over the film and culminates in first love - from where it rushes in free fall into the depths. A final climax is formed by the fragments of memories, which are amplified with a droning storm of flashbulbs.
