This nostalgic spot for Icelandic Air from Islenska BBDO and directed by Runar Ingi juxtaposes hectic scenes of a married couple's life -- rife with the mishaps and adventures made possible only by kids -- with clips from their more romantic past.

With the help of Icelandair, the couple revisits a favorite old hangout in Stockholm. Although it's no longer as they remembered it, the trip helps turn the pair back into the lovey-dovies they once were. A swingy track, intimate yet cinematic shooting and clever editing make for a well-told tale.
