The campaign stars actors Qi Xi and Shi Pengyuan and footballer Zhao Lina, and was shot by video director Zhika Liu and photographer Sky. Over the course of the three-part film, the characters journey through open spaces filled with opportunities for new perspectives – opportunities to discover confidence, passion and creativity through extraordinary experiences. Inspired by the Year of the Rabbit, an exclusive collection features the Thomas Burberry Monogram playfully interpreted with bunny ears. The collection includes a variety of items including womenswear, menswear and childrenswear, the brand's signature Lola bag, accessories and silk scarves. Bunnies are a key motif used throughout the collection, including a comical all-over cartoon-inspired pattern, two bunnies standing back to back in a heart-shaped design with their ears, and bunny ears on the Burberry logo.

In 2023, the Year of the Rabbit, Burberry captures the emotion of embarking on a journey into the unknown in a three-part film:
A young man journeys through the city, day and night, discovering new energy, brimming with confidence, taking on new challenges with every leap. A young dancer discovers her love and true joy in dance, driving her to transcend herself. When she finds an unexpected place in the great outdoors, a new path opens up for the young woman until she reaches the place she truly desires.
