John Lewis has released its Christmas advert for this year - and it will pull at your heartstrings.
The advert, titled The Beginner and set to a cover of Blink-182's All The Small Things by US artist Mike Geier, raises awareness of children in care. It tells the story of a middle-aged man, who is going to be a foster dad, and he is learning to skateboard as he prepares to welcome a teenage girl into the family home.
The film shows the man struggling to master skateboarding. He straps on his helmet and goes out to practise but ends up on the ground several times and suffering an injury or two. Viewers are left questioning the motive behind his perseverance until the final scene, which shows a social worker arriving at his door with a teenager who is carrying a skateboard.
