The horror, the horror!

Anyone who suffers from the need for an immaculate living space is going to struggle to watch this excellent PTSD-inducing film for Australian insurance company AAMI.

Sam Hobbs's production design helps director Tim Bullock to nail the sense of futility we feel as we contemplate the post-Christmas carnage. But, what you may ask, has any of this to do with insurance? You can't insure your house against the mess you create when you overdo the Yuletide celebrations. Or can you? Watch the ad to find out.
