For MAN, we produced a corporate film about the delivery of Russia’s most iconic Christmas tree to Red Square. To keep the story engaging, we chose a creative documentary approach — showing how the Main Tree of Russia travelled from the taiga to the heart of Moscow.

At first glance, the film seems to follow two main characters: a logger and a truck driver. But in reality, the unseen protagonist is the MAN truck itself. The story begins with its departure, continues with its journey carrying the New Year’s symbol to the Kremlin, and ends with the truck in the final shot. By making the vehicle a through-line character, we subtly highlighted the brand’s role without overwhelming the viewer.

The film was voiced in English for delivery to MAN’s global headquarters in Germany. Despite harsh weather and extremely tight deadlines, the project was completed on time. Thanks to precise teamwork and a fresh creative approach, Mishka Films earned high praise for this production.
