You know how sometimes they reveal the plot of a whole film in just the trailer of a movie? And then sometimes they make ads that are a able to tell a whole story in just a few seconds? The thing is, it is possible to say a lot in just a little while. This video went viral recently – it is supposed to be CCTV footage, but is actually a video created by a Facebook content-creator. Check out the video and the original source.
We see a young couple arguing by the side of the road while an older woman is crossing the road using a stick to walk. The older woman drops a bag of what appears to be oranges or tomatoes and is trying to pick these up with some difficulty. The woman goes over to help, so does the man.
The video went viral and has 5M+ a lot of people enjoyed it – especially the twist in the ‘tail’. In the end of the video, a heavy signboard falls where the man was standing.
The story has a whole character arc where the guy goes from bad boyfriend to someone who is chastened by the fact that he so narrowly escaped a serious injury.
Someone could die! Presumably the big dude in black is death?
This commentator had some ideas for possible grim scenarios to take the story to a climax.

The tweeple were having a great time with the cat – one suggested this continuation of the video while another commentator wanted a cat spinoff or prequel or backstory.

As this comment points out, there are some acting flaws here – so is this really CCTV footage?
This is the actual source of the video – it is longer and designed to look like CCTV footage with the time showing on the screen. It is a video with a moral: Whatever your problem is, don’t stop helping people it says
