The Greatest Gift by Sweetshop
- Location:
This year has changed the lives of so many New Zealanders, forcing us all to look at our spending and ourselves. Families have become more important than ever. Everyday people have been forced to make changes in their everyday lives to make ends meet.
Sweetshop’s Mark Albiston directs this poignant, family-centric film for BNZ from Colenso BBDO. It tells the story of Kiri, who like many Kiwis this year, has had to move back home. It’s Christmas and she likes the feeling of warmth and security, but the unplanned move back to the family home is a tough transition. As she starts to adjust to home with her family after years away, she comes to the realisation of what’s really important.
