Short filmTranscript
00:00A boy was celebrating his very first birthday.
00:02His parents had gifted him a small toy car, which he loved dearly.
00:05But upon turning it over, he discovered that another name was engraved on it.
00:08Embarrassed, his mother explained that they couldn't afford a new one,
00:11so they had gotten a second-hand car.
00:12The boy didn't blame her, knowing well that his family was poor.
00:15Even his clothes came from donations, and when his shoes wore out,
00:17there was no money to replace them.
00:19At school, he was often the target of mockery.
00:21As he grew up, he decided to change his fate through education,
00:24determined to give his parents a better life.
00:26He was accepted into a prestigious university abroad,
00:28but at the same time, his father fell seriously ill.
00:31To raise the money for his father's operation,
00:33he secretly gave up his dream of studying and went to work on a construction site.
00:36To get paid faster, he even got down on his knees to beg.
00:39After many sacrifices, he managed to save 100,000 euros.
00:42However, the doctor told him his father's condition had worsened
00:45and an urgent surgery would now cost 500,000 euros.
00:48Desperate, he came across a poster on a wall and, in order to save his father,
00:52agreed to sacrifice everything to raise the amount.
00:54He handed over the 500,000 euros to his parents,
00:57who were overwhelmed with emotion.
00:59But he never told them he had endangered his own health to get the money.
01:01After he left, his mother scolded his father for never revealing
01:04that they were actually the wealthiest family in the country,
01:06having let their son suffer for years.
01:08The father responded that he would reveal the truth
01:09after the birthday of their adoptive son,
01:11though that day also happened to be the birthday of their biological son,
01:14whom they had always ignored in order to toughen him up.
01:16That evening, they took their adoptive son to a luxury hotel,
01:19unaware that their real son worked there as a waiter
01:21to pay for his father's treatment.
01:22The boy was shocked to see his parents in such a place.
01:25To confirm his suspicions, he called his mother,
01:27who answered the phone right in front of him.
01:29In that moment, he understood everything, and his heart shattered.
01:32He also remembered that the man who had humiliated him
01:34at the construction site a few days earlier was an employee of his father.
01:37It had all been a cruel test.
01:38A deep hatred stirred within him for the parents
01:40who had made him endure poverty, humiliation, and illness for over 20 years.
01:44Suddenly, the adoptive son ordered him to serve wine.
01:47Curious, the boy asked his father why he had faked being sick.
01:49He then realized his father had never been ill.
01:52He had sacrificed his own body for nothing.
01:54Shocked, he dropped the glass to the floor.
01:56The adoptive son insulted him,
01:57saying he'd never be able to repay the cost of the stained shirt
01:59unless he drank all the alcohol.
02:01The hotel manager tried to step in and offered to drink in his place,
02:04but was pushed away.
02:05The boy's mother humiliated him too,
02:07claiming he had never learned how to apologize.
02:09Broken, the boy declared that even a year's salary
02:11wouldn't be enough to buy the clothes they wore,
02:13and that a single bottle of alcohol couldn't erase their wrongs.
02:15Then, he grabbed a bottle of strong liquor to drink it.
02:18The manager tried to stop him,
02:19saying his health wouldn't allow it,
02:21but the boy replied that his life was nothing but a toy in the hands of others.
02:24Those present looked at him with pity.
02:26The father then threw a bank card,
02:27claiming it held 5 million euros.
02:29The boy remembered all those years working since middle school to support his family,
02:32all he had sacrificed for them,
02:34when all along, a single car could have solved everything.
02:36The adoptive son demanded that he kneel to thank them.
02:39The boy refused and was beaten.
02:41The hotel manager, trying to protect him,
02:42revealed that the boy had a disability,
02:44but the adoptive son wouldn't stop
02:45and even ripped off his medical mask.
02:47At that very moment,
02:48the father said he was going to call his son
02:50to tell him the operation was a success,
02:51but a phone started ringing from the boy's own pocket.
