LEXUS - AT HOME IN AN NX

The Lexus NX was crafted to be a warm, comfortable and inviting space – a place you might call a “second home”.

Inspired by my real-life childhood cat, Cinnamon, who used to sneak and hide in strangers’ cars; we created a sweet social film about a stray cat who finds shelter inside the NX, and the car’s owner who slowly learns to love this cute vagabond in return.

Also, you may be wondering why there's suddenly a dog at the end of this cat story. Well, there's a very good reason for that... the client told us to. Because Akio Toyoda likes dogs.
