    I absolutely adore this. There's heart-wrenching meaning, there's symbolism, there's recognisable points... I've shared this with so many of my friends. Honestly? I absolutely love this video. It's so... Well... It really hits the mark.

    This short film portrays perfectly the fact that you don't have to be rich, successful and competitive to have fun. Yes, his job isn't the most exciting and inspiring, but this guy makes it something amazing because he points out the little things that make a big difference. Amazing.

    I cried. It actually moved me to tears. I've seen what this bad economy has done to people, robs them of their ability to appreciate how good they have it, but it also gives them opportunity to see the little things again and find hope in family, friends, and in love. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for making this film!
