The challenge
Give the brand's everyday role in looking after clothes an emotional connection to the people who care for loved ones.
The idea
A film follows Ana and Carlos through a long relationship and the changes brought by Alzheimer's disease. Familiar garments become part of the story of memory and care, recognising the daily acts that continue when shared recollections fade.
