The two-minute campaign video follows Zendaya as she runs through Prague while being pursued by a group of women. The opening scenes were filmed around the Strahov ventilation towers before the action moves to the brutalist TSK tunnel administration building.
A fight takes place outside the building and continues underneath it, before Zendaya escapes and heads toward the National Museum’s New Building.
The final part of the video was filmed inside the museum building, including its staircase and corridors, and on the roof. The campaign ends with Zendaya jumping from the rooftop.
The video was directed by Pantera, an Argentine directing trio. On selected Prague for the launch of its new collection, using the city as the setting for both still photography and the campaign film.
