Robin and Alex from the AXA Versicherungen AG video team had an assignment: they were to make a Christmas film for the insurance provider. But instead of showing snow and Christmas trees in the video, they decided to make children with rare diseases happy. They were allowed to go looking for presents in a toy store. The result is an emotional film and a wonderful partnership that enriches both sides.
