There are several forms of dementia, but each affects the memory in devastating ways. Yet, one man is able to relive his romance in the touching commercial below.
The commercial, created by Walker Zurich for Switzerland’s photo company ifolor, features an elderly couple whose love seems to conquer all.
The wife appears heartbroken as she visits her husband suffering from dementia in a nursing home. However, something magical happens when she gives him a photo book with snapshots of their past, including the first day they laid eyes on each other in the 1950s. The flashback proves it was what we call love at first sight.
Similarly to the emotional time a young girl helps her great-grandmother with dementia by singing, the elderly man is somehow able to recall that special moment.
"Her touching gift of a photo book sparks a moment of lucidity in her partner, who recalls the precious memory of the time they first met and danced together at a New Year’s Eve party. Reliving their greatest moment, the couple dance among the falling autumn leaves," the company explains of the commercial.
The commercial's final message: "Make your greatest moments live forever."
It may be just a commercial, but it's enough to make any romantic emotional.
