Protergia’s rookie mistakes

The Newton Laboratory’s amusing spot for the Greek energy company promotes the Protergia Value Student product. 

Directed by Vardis Marinakis, through Filmiki, the film is titled Newbies and charts all the pitfalls of managing a home for the first time. 

Delight as a terrified couple attempt to handle the dark arts of deep frying chips. Marvel as a brave lad in a snorkel approaches a bathroom intent on a besting a drain-clogging hair monster. 

And be a little bit sick in your mouth as a young woman manoeuvres a tupperware box of putrifying horror at the back of the fridge. At least they don’t have to worry about scary electricity bills reminds the VO. 

The whole adventure is powered by Richard Wagner’s stirring Ride of the Valkyries.
