Leiria doesn't exist without you
21
Points
Country: Portugal
Producer: Slideshow - Creative Agency
Client: Municipality of Leiria

The idea is to use the premise, “Leiria does not exist”, and turn it around, into “In Leiria it exists”. The video will be composed of short scenes, assuming the viewer's point of view, in which a character questions the fact that there are people who think that something does not exist, while we see what supposedly does not exist for some, existing in Leiria, in a more literal or more metaphorical way. Use myths and other beliefs from popular culture, always with a humorous and relaxed tone.
