A tear-jerking new ad from insurance company MetLife Hong Kong shows the trials and tribulations one father goes through to provide the best for his daughter.
The video “My Dad’s Story”, features a young girl reciting an essay about her father. The girl starts her essay on a lighthearted note, describing her father as the “sweetest daddy in the world.”
Happy scenes of the father and daughter playing together are later followed by scenes of the father working menial jobs to earn money for his family. The daughter reveals that he “lies about having a job” and “lies about having money,” but does so out of love for his daughter. The ad ends with the message, “A child’s future is worth every sacrifice.”
The video was shot in Thailand and produced in 6 versions for different markets in Asia. The video aims to promote MetLife’s EduCare savings plan for parents to save money for children’s higher education, the Wall Street Journal reports.
