Working with adam&eveDDB, Director Wes Anderson, Riff Raff and The Directors Bureau, The Mill helped to create this festive short film for H&M's 2016 Christmas campaign starring Adrien Brody.
The story takes place on a train traveling through a snowy landscape on Christmas Eve carrying passengers who are all trying to join their loved ones for Christmas.
When the conductor, played by Brody, hears the news that winter weather has conspired to way-lay them, he hatches a plan to bring the passengers together so they can still celebrate the holiday.
