The ad is a cinema ad, it starts with a woman in a thick fur coat walking down the catwalk, with pop music playing in the background. Two other women join her also wearing thick fur coats as people watch and clap with cameramen taking photos. A while after the first woman stops and starts spinning in place to show off her fur coat, when one of the audience members notices blood on her face. Blood then starts spilling everywhere whilst the screams of different animals are heard. The women then walks away from the camera with her fur coat in her hand being dragged on the floor, leaving a trail of blood behind her as if it was a bag with a dead body inside.
The commercial begins with three women in the boutique showing off their fur coats with avant-garde synth-pop music playing along in the background, However, as they start to spin, their coats spreading out blood right in front of the people with animals screaming in the background. The commercial ends with a woman walking out while holding a coat that was covered in blood, and a text displaying "''It takes up to 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat, But only one to wear it.
