Otto "Better together" (2017) 3:00 (Germany)

German online retailer OTTO brings us this film in time for the holidays which features five strangers on board some faraway bus deep in the Andes, on their way to celebrate the holidays with their loved ones.
These include the bus driver, the random strangers, a girl who looks perpetually in tears and an Ugly American™ who speaks no other language and petulantly demands they continue driving the bus even though they are at an impasse due to a landslide. Because of course the type of American who would travel all the way to the remotest part of the Andes would be demanding and not know one word in Spanish.
Ah but thankfully he knows two and those words are Feliz Navidad, which becomes the rallying cry to calm everyone down and ease the tensions. That song which is a cover can be streamed
here represents that true Christmas spirit where strangers come together as friends and share light and hope with each other.
The spot ends with their still singing the song hours later into the wee hours of the night.
I assume when starvation sets in a week or so later, they all forget the Christmas spirit and vote to eat the Ugly American first because he deserved it.
Also, I have no idea what this has to do with a German online retailer shop.
