The Brief

Showcase a real-life, heartwarming relationship between two people from different generations and the positive impact it had on their lives. It can also be about someone who has passed and is no longer around.

The theme is inspired by the timeless relationship between someone older and younger, mirroring a lot of the inter-generational work we do in our wealth management process here at GYC, ensuring a smooth and meaningful transfer of wealth and wisdom.
