Apple’s New AirPods 4 Short Film Features Pedro Pascal Dancing His Pain Away

Pedro Pascal stars in Apple’s new short film Someday, directed by Spike Jonze (Her, Being John Malkovich), showcasing the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, part of the current generation in Apple’s line of wireless earbuds.

The five-and-a-half-minute short film follows Pascal’s character navigating the aftermath of a breakup and moving forward. As soon as he listens to music on his AirPods 4, the gloomy, somber atmosphere quickly transforms into something vibrant and joyful as he looks back on his happier past self.

To further highlight the magic and power of Apple’s premium wireless earbuds, Pascal escapes the hustles and bustles of everyday life by dancing through sadness and pain, against the backdrop of the two featured songs: “Conticinio” by Guitarricadelafuente and “Perfect” by Sam i & Tropkillaz (feat. Bia & MC Pikachu).

For bringing Pascal’s dance moves to life, we can thank choreographer Tanisha Scott for that. She is known for her work with Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Drake.

In 2018, Jonze directed the short film, Welcome Home, promoting Apple’s smart speaker HomePod, and starring singer-songwriter FKA Twigs.

The AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation is available to purchase for ₱11,490.
