It's a sunny day and she strolls through an outdoor market as cultural exuberance and gastronomic delights surround her. On the other side of town, he soaks in the adrenaline rush of sports and adventure.
And then they meet in the same hotel. This poetic short film is Sofitel's newest campaign, enacted by its brand ambassadors British-American actress Gillian Anderson and French-Algerian actor Dali Benssalah. These contrasting scenes unfold in Mexico City, but the vibe would fit right in with any other destination the luxury hotel brand has a presence in.
The film is based on Sofitel's tagline, Where Free Minds Meet, which is a celebration of freedom, diversity and inclusivity.
It resonates perfectly with the rich tapestry of Bali, where one will find Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort.

Before venturing into fashion and haute couture, Chanel actually established herself in Paris, in a boutique at 21 rue Cambon, as a milliner. Her first creation that was presented to the press in 1910 was a feathered hat. The latest Plume de Chanel collection of high jewellery pays tribute to the feather in all its lightness and supple movement. Six sets of romantic, evanescent jewels introduce a new, naturalistic silhouette, decorated with diamonds and an array of dazzling pink gemstones such as sapphires, tourmalines and diamonds.
