Although perhaps they shouldn't have featured the model wind turbine over his shoulder right from the start. That tipped it off for me. Perhaps instead it edging into a steadily widening frame each time they cut back to Monsieur Wind. But beautifully set up and delivered to turn a problem into a solution. And inspired casting too. "A good case as to why more short filmmakers should be employed by the ad industry, rather than copywriters." Or perhaps more copywriters injecting some narrative and conceptual discipline into short films? That was very very good.
