Description: We begn with the tale of Jack and Carla, a couple who celebrated 82 years of marriage, as Jack turned 105 and Carla 100 on Christmas. They live in a retirement community with other centenarians. Then, the exemplary story of a Los Angeles teenager, Jacob Rock, with profound non-oral autism is shared. Jacob has created a 70-minute symphony despite his condition, made possible with modern text-to-voice software. The tale follows the act of generosity from the city of Columbus, as they cancelled 335 million in medical debt for their residents. Subsequently, the script tells of a bride who canceled her wedding and donated the $15,000 reception to a non-profit that worked with children with special needs. The script concludes with an apology from a prominent Japanese department store, Takishimaya, for delivering 807 lopsided Christmas cakes to their customers.
