Moving image and mobility 

Film is also called moving image. The image film for the world's leading "prosthesis manufacturer" Ottobock moves on several levels. Emotionally it moves, formally it shows people in motion. However, it shows people with prostheses that enable them to move. The term prosthesis is an antiquated terminology that Ottobock replaced with "mobility for people" and this is exactly what became the leitmotif for the film.

It is about mobility concepts! 

The challenge was to find an emotional translation for the claim 'Quality for life'. A moving film with the core theme of 'mobility concept' was to positively encode the negatively connotated word prosthesis and to make it more tangible with the optimistic term mobility.

Sensitive messages with high impact
