One hundred years in the future, when AI has taken over the cities and humans have fled to the woods, one young robot discovers Christmas and what it means to be part of a family.

“2117” is a four-minute tour de force for German supermarket EDEKA from MJZ director Matthijs van Heijningen and the MPC VFX crew (who also teamed up for
Heineken “Trail Blazers” earlier this year).
