As audiences we see him struggling and looking fondly at a photograph of someone, a person who is the motivation for his workout. We see this man appearing to be over 60 or 65 years old, lift amid the autumn trees and the winter snow, much to the dismay of his neighbours. In the end, he visits his family for Christmas.

He arrives at his daughter's house with a star as the gift for his granddaughter. When his granddaughter appears, he hands the gift to her and is able to lift her up so she can place the star at the top of the tree. All along neither his neighbours nor his daughter could make sense of what he was doing and why he was trying so hard to get fit at such an old age. The ad finishes with the slogan written in Geman: “So that you can take care of what really matters in life”.
