Wideroe: Grandpa's Magic Trick

Credits & Description:

McCann Oslo and director Marius Holst pull a rabbit from a hat with this deceptively simple commercial for Widerøe airlines. Beautiful scenery, amazing acting, stunning cinematography—and a wonderfully subtle message. Flying is magical. So is this spot.
Widerøe. All of Norway. All the time. New commercial by McCann Oslo, produced by 4 1/2 and director Marius Holst. The song is Youth, played by Daughter.

Brief Explanation
On a remote Norwegian farm, a little boy begs his grandfather to "do it again?" - it being a magic trick he has perfected thanks to Widerøe, Norway's first airline and its frequent and punctual flights to small towns and villages all over the rugged country. The grandfather keeps resisting ?until suddenly he begins furiously rubbing his hands together, puts his hands to his mouth, and - to the little boy's excitement - appears to blow out one of Widerøe's planes.
