The heartwarming video is of a father and a teenage daughter wherein a father surpasses a challenge he had since his youth, through learning from her daughter.

The video begins with a teenage girl searching for something in the old boxes where she accidentally discovers a mathematics answer sheet with a score that reads 3 out of 100 marks. The answer sheet, as it turns out, belonged to her father. “Were your math so bad?” the daughter asks her father.
The video takes you into a flash back where we see a boy was being scolded by his father, who also happens to be a mathematics school teacher, for scoring bad in his math exam. The 14-year boy, who is now a father, is embarrassed and is seen roaming around the streets. The scene cuts back to the present day where he regrets running away from school after flunking the test, and how that incident has changed his life forever.
As the story moves on, we see the daughter putting her best efforts in teaching math to his father to an extent that she convinces him to appear for an exam. The girl then sends the answer sheet to her grandfather to check. In the end, we see a surprise planned for the father where the grandfather is holding his answer sheet wherein a score of 93/100 is seen.
The music that accompanies the video depicts the journey and the motive of persuading one’s dreams.
Speaking of the campaign, Amit Gujral, Head Corporate Marketing, LG Electronics India, said: The emotionally charged campaign is a true reflection of LG’s brand philosophy of making our customers’ dreams come true. The video effectively depicts the emotions and aspirations of a common man, and how following one’s dreams can have a long-lasting impact on their own lives and of their loved ones.
“It reminds us in a unique way how dreams have and continue to come alive with LG. We have always been a companion along the journey of our consumers and this campaign dedicates a strong message – LG has been an integral part of every Indian’s dream.”
