Let's face it, ever since 1994, it's been impossible to share a box of chocolates with someone without talking about how it relates to life itself.

Taking the cultural impact of decade-spanning yarn Forrest Gump and using it to tell the history of Norway, Bacon director Jakob Marky's epic film commemorating the Norwegian Postal Service's 375 anniversary is a funny and fact-filled mini-movie.

Developed with agency POL, 375 Years sees a (seemingly immortal) postman talk various bench-mates through key moments of his life, all presented with wit and joyful naivety.

With a lovely performance from our heroic postie, and some gorgeous production design in creating each era, this magical spot salutes its cinematic inspiration admirably.
