The brief

Mercedes-Benz presented their concept for an electric G-Class. We imagined the year 2021 through the eyes of 1979 — the year the G-Class was born.

The adventures of "Future 2021" are a strange journey through space and time, featuring aliens, talking robots and odd creatures. Directed by Nina Holmgren, produced by ANORAK Film.
