Best ever lesson of life . . All my respect for the movie maker.l am sure that all those don`t like this video are coming from other planet, a frozen one .
. Ya sas apo Romania. Hello from Romania .

An amazing short film that shows youth of today how caring our elders are. We've lost too much respect for them in the past ten years.

Thanks for the great film and message.

People don't realize how important this is and how lucky are those who had fathers like this... My father was never there for me, this almost makes me cry >.>

[rhondarichoux]

This made me cry. My mother has dementia, and repeats questions constantly. At times, it is hard to hold on to patience. Thank you for putting me in  my place.

[crampoos]

Tears are falling down my face right now. Thanks to the author of the movie for reminding us about our old parents and their needs. God bless you.

I was so much cried about this film. The love of a old father and the son is shown here . But his son takes time to know his father's great love. This film gives us a important experience and moral

[testedcomply]

No one knows what they have until its too late... even though many videos will open our eyes for a few seconds, the reality doesnt hit us until our parents are truly gone... RIP Dad, i know youre watching over us, but I just cant help but cry when watching this video, I really miss you....

To have had a father that loved his son like the father in this short but powerful movie would have meant the world to me. It made me cry to see a father who loved his son despite his son’s questioning. I had a father that didn’t care, who made me feel like an idiot every chance he had. I would have been a different person had my father shown just a bit of love or gave me a simple hug. I have sought that kind of love all of my life. The past 77 years I’ve searched for just a simple hug from a loving man.

Αγαπημένο και δεν διστάζω ποτέ να το ξαναδώ ψάχνοντας την συγκίνηση που μόνο αυτά τα δυνατά τρία λεπτά δινουνε. Ευχαριστώ.

Πόσο συγκλονιστικό βίντεο.... Όταν το είδα πρώτη φορά πριν από πολλά χρόνια, ποτέ μου δεν πίστευα ότι θα υπάρξει εποχή οπού θα το ζήσω κι εγώ, από την πλευρά του γιού... Ο πατέρας μου βρίσκεται στην τρίτη ηλικία και ύστερα από τον χαμό του αδελφού μου πριν τρία χρόνια, παρουσιάζει δυστυχώς έντονη κατάθλιψη και άνοια.... Πονάει πολύ να βλέπεις έναν άνθρωπο που εσφιζε από κέφι και ζωή να βρίσκεται σε αυτή την κατάσταση...😢

[giwrgosmitsopoulos]

Πολύ ωραίο βίντεο.ποσο γρήγορα περνάει η ζωή. Και ειδικά όταν έχεις παιδιά.πρέπει να φερόμαστε με αγάπη στους οικείους μας πρέπει να υπάρχει κατανόηση. Μπράβο και πάλι.

[christosmylonas]

Όταν το είχα δει νέος μου φάνηκε πολύ ενδιαφέρον. Τώρα που έχω ένα παιδί 2, 5 ετων και γονείς μεγάλους, μου φάνηκε πολύ βαθύ και πολύ συγκινητικό.

[永日庵山帰来]

I don`t have father....yet either no memory at of he was past away as soon as I that my mom who also past three years ago....she never ever get remarry with my life has past more than 50 years without FATHER in which maybe sad however was my fate....After wacthed this video simply made me tears and moved....Wishing had such beautiful affection from father...Don`t get mad to children who you were ....Don`t yelling to old people who you will

[magoulianitissa]

Υπέροχο video!
Ευχαριστώ τους δημιουργούς του που με τόση τρυφερότητα προσέγγησαν ένα θέμα που στην ελληνική κοινωνία είναι πραγματικό πρόβλημα! Χάσαμε, μαζί με τόσα άλλα, τον σεβασμό και την πρέπουσα ανεκτικότητα στην τρίτη ηλικία, στους γονεις μας, και παπούδες μας!

[Doxadramitis]

That´s maybe the best video ever.
Love is life.
Love the Parents!
Μπαμπά....ήσουν ο ΤΈΛΕΙΟΣ Πατέρας! Εύχομαι να σου μοιάσω!

[ketpat]

That was a beautiful film, my eyes welled up at the end.
It's so easy to forget the crap our parents had to put up with when they raised us

[raymondtosti]

This is such a beautiful story and the message is so simple: love is patient and love is kind!

[bryan]

15 years later.... I still watch this and sob

[TheInga]

What a message to us all !!! Hope this will touch as many hearts, minds and souls as possible...

[stephenlisson]

I loved my father very much and I know he loved me and my siblings, but he never showed it outwardly. Only when my mother passed away, did he start to show that true love. He would hug and kiss us, something he seldom do when we were younger. He's been gone for 10 years now and I miss him very much. This video is quite emotional and I'm trying not to cry, but I can't stop thinking of him as I watch this lovely piece of work. GOD BLESS!!!! you Dad. I love you.
