Feliz Navidad 2017

El inspector de los regalos de la Navidad pasada

Un corto/anuncio sorprendente y emotivo de la famosa marca española de turrones 'El Almendro'.
A surprising and moving short film/ad by the famous Spanish turron brand, 'El Almendro'.

Everybody remembers the sticky tune of ´El Almendro´ Christmas adverts, always about that emigrated son or brother coming home for Christmas: "Vuelve, a casa vuelve, por Navidad..."

This advert is slightly different but it retains the idea of the family reunion. A bit extravagant but with a heartwarming central idea as its focus.
