Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Picture this. A poor, stranded and lonely Mars Explorer by himself, in a not too distant future. Bored. Lonely. Watching old youtube videos to remind him how much more fun life was back on earth. Then, for fun he watches old Suzuki Cars Ads, from Australia, because those cars are the funnest on earth.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

This campaign was produced during Australia's covid lockdown, when all of us were longing to return to the outdoors. At the time, we couldn't even drive more than 5kms in some places. Rather than take a typical sad, empathetic approach like most brands at the time we found a happy way to still do empathy.
