After surviving an explosion, two children cope with tragic circumstances by escaping into a fantasy world of their own. The new spot for Save the Children, directed by Martin de Thurah, produced by Bacon, and made with Oslo agency POL, is a gut-wrenching tale of the power of imagination. De Thurah merges the harrowing depiction of life in a war zone with a dreamy universe, highlighting the ever-present need for Save the Children’s humanitarian aid. The film is launching both online and on TV in the Netherlands and Norway.
