Diesel brought romance and politics into its new ad campaign “Make Love Not Walls” for its spring 2017 collection.

In a short film directed by David LaChapelle, a man tries to reach a group of people on the other side of a wall. The group jumps over the wall and breaks through it creating a heart-shaped hole. Everyone joins together to celebrate the wedding of two men and ends with the slogan “Make Love Not Walls.”

Watch below.
