Andes Beer: A singular man

Remember Edward Scissorhands? So did Del Campo Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi who managed to built a great story about a man with bottles of Andes beer in every finger. A great story out of almost nothing as you will see in the end. All they had was a small change in Andes bottle to work for.
