For love to be true and healthy it really needs to be reciprocated. It has to be a two way street. If one person unreservedly loves someone, but that feeling isn’t returned, then what’s the point? It’s just not fair. Sometimes love is hard, but you have to work at it. That’s one of the themes you’ll see here in this wonderful video.

It’s a short film called ‘Gift’ by the director Zsófia Zsemberi and it tells of a cute young girl who wants nothing more than the love and affection of her parents. But they’re caught up with their own lives and constantly too busy for her.

There’s a twist to the tale at the end that you may or may not see coming. We certainly didn’t. But when we realized what was going on, it really tugged on our heartstrings. It’s a thought-provoking short film which really makes you question people’s attitudes with this kind of thing. Watch it, see what we’re talking about and – if you agree that it’s a message that needs hearing, please feel free to share it…
