‘2117’, which was released online in Germany, is directed by MJZ’s Matthijs van Heijningen with concept and idea by Jung von Matt. The four-minute spot, which continues the brand's tradition of delivering brave Christmas advertising, is set in a very believable future in which robots have taken over.
