The Proposal by Cartier was launched just in time for Valentine's Day. This short six-minute film by Sean Ellis features three romantic stories about couples that become muddled by factors out of their control.
The first story features a treasure hunt through the Musée Rodin gardens, which culminates at the iconic Thinker statue. Next, another couple becomes part of a series of missed opportunities in a concert hall. The final pair is a dramatic meeting between a husband and wife at the airport. Of all the tales, this one has a sweet and an especially surprising ending when the husband presents his wife with a proposal for "remarriage" when he brings out the iconic red Cartier ring box. The entirety of the film has a golden romantic glow to it from the beautiful Parisian scenery.
