MOTHER'S DAY NIVEA

The global spot depicts a daughter who returns to her mother’s house to work from home during the pandemic, as many young adults did over the last year. It’s not an easy transition: Mom makes frightening yoga noises while her daughter is in a Zoom meeting; the daughter runs the faucet and turns her mother’s shower cold. However, when things go wrong for the daughter at work, her mom is there for her. The nuanced performances of the actors, combined with a cover of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love” by Birdy, help to turn up the emotional temperature.
