Whispered:
“Have you ever loved so hard you split your soul in two”
A dam bursts in slow motion
A couple kiss in the rain
A clock spins in reverse
A ham explodes
A page is torn out of a dictionary
David Beckham leans into a microphone in a courtroom:
“Guilty”
We're in a universe where Timothée Chalamet was never born
People roam the streets
squinting
hungry for answers
answers to questions nobody remembers asking
Fog
A peach sinks into a pool of black oil
The ashes of a forest fire
An empty perfume bottle
A single word
VOID
Scotland. Black&White. Timelapse clouds. Reverse eagle. Then:
“Stop. What’s that noise?”
Chalamet removes his velvet headphones & listens
“Just as I thought. Rain”
He leaves the castle topless & lays in the grass letting the rain blast against his inquisitive nipples.
DIOR
Luke Evans checks his watch
“People ask what time it is
Maybe they should ask what time it isn’t?
Points to his temple “Think about it”
He smooshes pink lotion over his torso & dives into the Seine
But it is not filled with water
It is brimful with the thick balm of destiny
New York is empty but for one man
Idris Elba in a kilt
His eyes are eternal
His thoughts, black & white
He pulls out a pocket telescope & looks out
Telescope POV: in the distance Elba is looking back at himself through another telescope
BOTH ELBAS: “Checkmate”
‘BELONG’
A flat-capped David Beckham plays saxophone to a heard of cows
“Are we so different?”
He walks amongst the beasts, pausing occasionally to touch nostrils with them
“No”
A pear lands in some hay
Timelapse donkey birth
Back to the field. David now has horns.
Perfume bottle
Jerusalem. 2034.
Tom Hardy exits a stainless-steel drone wearing turquoise salopettes.
“I’ve searched time”
A lamb is born in reverse
A gloved hand plucks a berry.
Hardy karate kicks the air
“Welcome to yesterday”
9 minutes of wasps
Chris Hemsworth strips down to his vest to write a letter.
‘ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTVWXYZ’
A tear falls onto the page, blotting the ink.
“Something’s missing”
Chris burns the page.
“Perhaps...it is U”
Chris looks deep into your soul and marries you with his eyes.
I REMEMBER U
A horse stands in the centre of Times Square
No one is there
Jake Gyllenhaal approaches
Goes nose to nose with the beast
“I knew you’d come”
Cut
He is now living in a small village just outside Marseille
A photo of the horse hangs on the wall
Cut to a bottle of perfume
A cactus is on fire. Kit Harington stands before it:
“They say dance like no one’s watching.
Wrong.
I dance like everyone in the whole world is watching”
He strides to camera.
Pulls the 4 of spades from his pocket.
“Is this your card?”
He walks away.
Fade to indigo.
A divided world
Protestors
Chanting
Natalie Portman arrives in an open top VW Beetle
Her hair is braided
Her energy is Swiss
She lifts a megaphone and sings a soft, folk version of ‘Rappers Delight’
The crowd melt into doves
The Dior logo appears, made entirely from hope
Jared Leto stalks the plains in a velvet dinner suit
Monochrome winds tousle his small beard
“What am I searching for?
Love. Deep, gushing love”
He pulls out an antique trumpet, toots a little ditty
A woman appears. She has antlers
Slowly, delicately, he kisses her chin.
Poetic night
David Gandy thinks at the moon
Dissolve into his complicated mind
A muscular torso is hit with a fine, oily mist
Time-lapse fox corpse
The word ‘TRUTH?’ written on parchment
An ostrich reverses through a supermarket
Gandy, years later
“Unimpossible Yourself”
A puma enters a cocktail party.
Everyone stares at the puma.
People whisper: ‘is that a ...puma?’
The puma passes a drape, rises to its hind legs & morphs into Benedict Cumberbatch.
‘No’, say the people, ‘’tis a man’
Cumberbatch, down the lens:
“Can I interest you in Love?”
Natalie Portman gallops through Paris on a flaming horse
“We need not things. Only hope.”
A rich man pushes his Jag into the Seine
“To inspire others”
Another gifts his watch to an orphan
“You must outspire yourself”
Natalie, covered in ash, runs to the sunset on all fours
Sotheby’s
Frenzied bidding on a rare ostrich egg
BANG. Sold to telephone bidder 9
The egg begins to hatch
People gasp
A tiny hand pierces the albumen. A newborn Gerard Butler screams into existence.
Cut to Gerard Butler aged 90 on a phone in China laughing
DESTINY by Kenzo
In slow motion Jake Gyllenhaal turns his head to look out of a window
Hold on Jake Gyllenhaal looking out of the window for 40 minutes
Then he looks back at camera:
(wisely) “Unknow Thyself”
He now has the eyes of a mallard
Fade to ethereal whiteness
‘TRUTH’
Perfume bottle
Ewan McGregor on a motorbike, wearing a little scarf.
“Life. They say if you blink, you’ll miss it.”
Ewan stares at his reflection in a lake.
“That's why…”
Face to face with a coyote.
“I never blink”
Ewan atop a mountain, staring intensely at the sky.
Thunder.
Fade in
Atop a volcano stands Charlize Theron
She takes off her monocle & casts it into the lava:
“I do not need to see”
Points to her heart
“I feel”
A microphone descends
Charlize grabs it & sings the whole of ‘What If God Was One Of Us’
In Korean. Twice.
DIOR
It's Justin Bieber’s funeral.
Beliebers cannot belieb it.
Weeping mourners cast brassieres into his grave.
As it’s filled with soil, a distraught supermodel dives in to be with him forever.
It's over.
The vicar removes his moustache.
It’s Justin Bieber.
“Where do I begin?”
Silk, says Harry Styles when the mermaid asks what his tortoise holder is made from
Black & white winds tousle his hair
The mermaid gently strokes his cheek:
“I know you”
STYLES “Know me you do”
He dismounts his horse & kisses her not once, not twice, not thrice, but frice
