# Mercedes-Benz — Hand-Carved Star in an S-Class

A cinematic night-drive brand film in which a sculptor carves a miniature Mercedes star by hand in the back seat of a moving S-Class. The film ends on a thank-you note and the line 'Because it's Mercedes-Benz.' The car's smooth ride is shown through the steadiness of his work, without any voiceover.
