A Man Eagerly Counts Down to Christmas When He Can Open a Special Gift From Someone He Loves
In the beautifully heart wrenching short film "Love is a Gift" by British filmmaker Phil Beastall made in 2014 for 50, a bearded man (Chris Ilston) excitedly counts down the days until Christmas, spending sleepless nights waiting for the big day. When it finally arrives, the man seats himself at the kitchen table in order to open a special gift from someone he really loves, his departed mum. Beastall says that he was inspired to share his film becuase of the touching 2018 John Lewis advert featuring Sir Elton John.
