Write a short summary of what happens in the film

A delicious beefy-looking hamburger sits on a plinth in the middle of a picturesque field. A cow appears, and approaches the burger, hungrily. The viewer gasps (we assume)...“A cow can’t eat a beef burger!” The cow devours the burger in one bite. A super appears: GRILL’D IMPOSSIBLE BURGER. 100% MADE FROM PLANTS. We cut to a white screen and a pack shot, where the Impossible Burger hovers, impossibly. A super appears: ONLY AT GRILL’D. The logo appears: Grill’d. Righteous Burgers.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Almost all Aussies know about ‘mad-cow disease’...caused by cows eating...cows. We’re hyper-aware that cattle should not eat beef. It’s this paradox that makes this commercial so arresting. Grill’d are a national burger chain selling sustainable, natural and healthy burgers, with almost 140 stores. The majority of burgers sold are beef burgers.
