In the Thai Pantene commercial, a young deaf girl faces many challenges in her reality. Not only is playing her violin a challenge in itself, but she is also bullied, ridiculed, and harassed. It is not until she plays her violin when she can escape her hard reality.
When she plays her violin, she envisions herself in a field. This field signifies freedom where she can feel around, observe, and just be with herself with no one to judge her. When the wind blows through the field, it is as if it is her being able to breathe; A deep breath that she cannot get in her own reality. When she plays her violin, it brings forth all these intense and passionate emotions for her. She envisions her breaking free in every sense; the butterfly breaking from the cocoon, the wind blowing through the wheat, her hair down and flowing, etc... It is all just a reflection of how free she feels when she plays. It becomes her escape to her own paradise. This field help to heal a seemingly broken girl who, with one chord on the violin, can finally be free.
