Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

The campaign idea, Little Angels, was developed from an insight that in the midst of family chaos, parents are striving to achieve their own personal moments of harmony. The film sees two bickering siblings instantly transformed into little angels complete with harps, singing Enya’s 80’s classic Orinocco Flow in perfect harmony. The world outside the Santa Fe is populated by a motorcycle courier transformed into a gallant white horseman, a levitating windscreen squeegee lady and a busload of elderly people who join the celestial choir.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.

The director focused on ensuring that the kids sang like they are being summoned and ascending. One looks to the other and then the other is being possessed by the voice and spirit of an angel. It’s like the polar opposite to being possessed by the devil. It’s ethereal and otherworldly good. The track and its lyrics will be the cue to all this emotional resonance. The director's decision that not everything needed to be sung by the kids and allowed for us to can add comedy and opportunities for performance by giving lines to the world and characters around the Santa Fe. Playing with that and spreading the fun was fundamental to building our world and spreading the word of just how good this Santa Fe is.
