In our spot ‘Berlin’ we tell the story of two people moving along the same street. A female divorce lawyer walking on the sidewalk. And a corporate lawyer driving in his car. With every sentence, we notice that these two people are really ruthless and that they should better never meet.At the end of the story, the divorce lawyer steps on to the street and the corporate lawyer as the equally distracted driver hurtles towards him, we dissolve to:Thanks to Pedestrian Monitoring System from Volkswagen these two people will never meet. Fortunately.
