At the heart of the “Every journey makes you stronger” campaign for the Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV is this nearly five-minute film In the long run, a modern family story about a strong woman and mother who is training hard for her dream: taking part in her first ever triathlon. With support from her husband she fights to her physical and mental limits and finally manages to participate in the race. But despite all this success there is an event from her past which is always with her like a dark shadow. The film reveals what this is. The Olympic triathlon champion and two-time winner of Ironman Hawaii, Mercedes-Benz brand ambassador Jan Frodeno, has a guest appearance.
Niclas Larsson directed via Iconoclast Germany. In the long run was shot by Best Cinematography Oscar winner (La La Land) Linus Sandgren, FSF.
