In a dimly lit office, with heavy curtains and the scent of a cold cigar in the air, The Godfather, played by Tarik El Boukhari, sits behind his big wooden desk. Around him, his crew — a bunch of colorful characters, each running a small struggling business. One by one, they humbly come to share their problems: One of them transports fragile goods… but always loses half along the way. He needs a reliable and tough vehicle. Another one never has enough space to load all his goods and satisfy his clients. He needs a spacious vehicle with a big trunk. A third one wants a car that works for both his business and personal life, without losing his style. He needs a good-looking car for both professional and personal use. The Godfather, calm and wise, listens carefully. For each problem, he finds the real cause, like an old business sage. Then, in a solemn silence, he leans forward and whispers his secret: "If you really want to succeed… if you’re aiming for the gold… you need the Berlingo." The camera then reveals the new Citroën Berlingo — a symbol of reliability, space, and versatility. The message is clear: in business, the right tool makes all the difference — and the Berlingo is the ultimate weapon for those who want to grow and rule their market.
