Did you know how international our everyday lives are?
We use, wear and consume things
from all over the world every day.
We often don't realise it.
This is because services and goods are available almost everywhere
thanks to international cooperation.
“Hi!“ – “Hi!“
“Good morning!” – “One cappuccino please.”
– “Sure.”
“Thank you.” – “Have a nice day!” “You too!“
“Good morning.” – “Good morning.”
“Kunze my name, I have an appointment at 9.”
“Take a seat for a moment.” – “All right, thank you.”
The choice is huge
and we take it for granted.
Without even giving it a second thought.
“Quite a lot of choice, isn't it?” – “Mhm.”
“Here. I like these.”
“Thank you!”
Whether over coffee, when shopping, at work –
“Yes of course! We will deliver in time.”
Global is normal for us.
We've got used to it.
Just like Hannes.
“Ok, see you, bye.”
But what if the normal of today no longer existed tomorrow?
Le Premier ministre prévoit de grands défis pour l'économie.
It is not yet known what impact this will have on consumers.
The world's economic governments have decided to stop international co-operation.
How would our lives change?
Well, Hannes, let's see what your world will look like tomorrow!
“That will be 5.40 please”
“5.40? Normally it’s just 3 euros!”
“That's a Colombian coffee!
I can get you some water instead.”
Opening hours changed due to shortage of specialists. Prescriptions only according to availability of medication.
Only available seasonally.
“Where has all the chocolate gone? Yesterday the whole shelf was full.”
“Chocolate? No, not until Christmas.”
“Christmas?”
“Chocolate Santas, you know?
Only one per household.
Just like back then, with toilet paper.”
“What are you doing here?”
“What's going on today?”
“Hannes, have you forgotten?”
“We can no longer deliver.”– “What?”
“Does that mean we're closing down?”
A babble of voices: That's a Colombian coffee!
Chocolate? Nah, not until Christmas!
We can't deliver anymore!
Fortunately, that was just a nightmare.
International cooperation is essential for our everyday lives.
“This is really good coffee!”
Let's make sure it stays that way!
