An award-winner by Ogilvy Mexico. You won’t get it until the very end.

It says this aired during the Super Bowl, but I must have missed it. What the hell was I doing? It’s another epic piece for Dove, this time by the Paris branch of Ogilvy & Mather in conjunction with The Mill. Watch as a man’s entire life unfolds, from his inception to his final realization of what it means to be comfortable in his own skin. Great art direction, copy, etc. etc.

PS: Please read what it says under the “additional info” section of The Mill’s production notes. Giggle.
