moneysupermarket: advert-body-1 by Mother
- Location:
Mother has unveiled its final work for Moneysupermarket: the tale of two Sindy dolls that escape suburban monotony for a high stakes car chase on the Mexican border.
The spoof follows on from ‘Epic Action Man’, landing another childhood toy into a decidedly adult scenario alongside a banging soundtrack.
The film opens in ‘Sindyville’, a Lynchian suburbia where toy men mow their lawns in sync. The uniformity is disrupted, however, when Sindy drives up in her convertible – license plate ‘Epic’ – blasting out Fleetwood Mac’s ‘You Can Go Your Own Way’.
Another Sindy hops in and the duo embark on a rip-roaring road trip. But just like the ad’s source material, it all goes wrong and ends in a (spoiler alert) cliff-face drop.
