Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film

A tourist steps into a bar in Italy and asks for the real Italian coffee.

What we see next is an unexpected sequence of reactions to this odd question, taking the viewer through a world of different coffee preparations offered by Lavazza.

At the end, we are back in the same bar of the beginning, where the woman is offered a Lavazza espresso.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

There’s a preconceived idea outside Italy that the authentic Italian coffee is a short and strong dose of espresso. This campaign breaks this idea, presenting Lavazza - the brand that practically invented coffee as we know it - as a coffee system, taking the Italian experience to any kind of taste and preparation.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.

Make the film not look like a product catalogue. Check. Convey the feeling of a premium trip around the world, without exceeding the budget. Check. Add a taste of humor and improve the original script with an original point of view. Hat trick.
