Overview

Description

Beyond Money, a sci-fi short film set in a dystopian future where you can buy and sell experiences stored in your memory. The film tells the story of Lucia and her search for the balance between money and experiences. And get the audience to think: what's worth more: experiences or money?

The story allows the bank to engage young people with a philosophical question about the value of money and experiences, which is what the product does through its financial and non-financial offers.

Execution

A 17 minute short film directed by a Spanish Academy of Cinema award recipient and starring Adriana Ugarte (star of the latest Almodóvar film).

The trailer was broadcast on different media platforms: cinema, television, online and audiences could even watch the full movie at the bank offices where they could then open an account (in person or online).

The film was screened at 14 Spanish cinemas, distributed on 5 television channels and was available on Spain's two main VOD platforms (where it scored better than blockbusters like ‘The Fast & The Furious 8’ and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’.)

The film was screened at the main bank branches of 50 Spanish provinces.
