Film Description:

This music video follows the work of 65 year old Margaret who paints backings for movie studios in the 1940s. Each backdrop Margaret paints brings her flashbacks of when she was a young woman in the early 1900s, where she first met her husband William. Sometimes the most simplest things in life can be the hardest to believe and the most powerful. This video indulges in those heartwarming moments, inspired by old idioms, to bring a lifetime worth of memories into one single song.

All the animals featured in this film have been rescued from abusive homes and abandonment. A portion of this film’s budget has been directly donated to Barber Family Farms, a charity that uses 100% of its profit to giving these animals a better life.
