Have a New Twingo, for fun, for life!
Adrien Rivierre
A regular rainy and windy day in London. A young couple takes its breakfast at home before going to work. They miss their bus but a New Twingo driven by a Royal Guard picks them up. Inside the car, the couple discovers a shiny sun and an all new world full of happiness. Arriving at Buckingham Palace, everybody gets off the car but rain starts again and all Royal Guards stand to attention. The couple understands the New Twingo “happy” power and gets back into the car to enlighten London.
1. The couple eats its breakfast in silence in the living room. The room is quite dark. Through a large window in the background, we see a driving rain. The woman looks outside with despair. The man turns his spoon in his coffee endlessly with his head lowered. Both of them look lifeless.
2. They leave their apartment, arriving in a charming street of London to take a double-decker to go to work. As they are late, they miss the bus. They unsuccessfully start to run trying to catch it up. While running, a big gust breaks the woman's umbrella and the man stops in a puddle his hands on his knees. They look furious!
3. While the couple is heading back to their apartment, they see down the street the New convertible Twingo – a white one with black and red stripes - rushing and slaloming between cars. While getting closer, the couple notices that a Royal Guard drives it with his bearskin hat going over the roof's car.
4. The Royal guard parks the Twingo briefly and easily between two other cars. He gets off the car, rolls out the red carpet to the couple and opens the car's doors in a funny way. The couple looks at each other, bursts out laughing and both of them get in the rear seats of the car. Before getting in, the woman throws away her umbrella.
5. Inside the Twingo, the weather becomes sunny and hot. All Londoners laugh and children play together. Approaching Buckingham Palace during the changing of the guard, Royal Guards make funny faces and dance with tourists around the car. Their behaviours and big smiles embody a true happiness.
6. Curious, the couple (and the Royal Guard) gets off the car. As soon as the door opens, rain starts to fall again; quickly, all Royal Guards stand to attention and tourists step aside from the Twingo to take photos of the Palace. The couple understands that it is the New Twingo which is enjoying their lives and the world they live in.
7. The couple runs back immediately in the car! The man steals a bearskin hat to a guard and puts it to imitate him. The woman sits in the conductor position thumbing her nose at the Royal Guards.
8. She drives and easily zigzags through the traffic toward downtown London under a nice sun. In the background, we see Buckingham Palace and the furious Royal Guard without his bearskin hat running behind the car. While the couple is laughing and dancing in their seats everybody slowly claps along the Twingo which is fuelling the world with a halo of joy.
