Pantene: You Can Shine

Throughout the commercial the deaf girl struggles with accepting her disability. When she sees the street performer play the violin, she understands the beauty of the music, but is unable to hear it. When she attempts to take up learning the violin she is tormented and bullied by the other girl, and she stops playing. She confides in the street performer that she just wants to be like the others. The street performer helps the deaf girl learn to see the music and teaches her how to play the violin. 


In a few scenes the deaf girl conflicts with her disability. In the final scene when the deaf girl is performing at the Classical Music Competition she plays passionately and finally accepts her deafness. The butterfly in the commercial symbolizes growth, the growth of the deaf girl because she has finally come to terms with her disability.
