A Spanish Christmas advertisement has caught the public’s attention, sending the video viral.

The advert shows a lonely night-time security guard getting up every night at 10pm for his shift at a factory which makes mannequins.

He decides to set up some of the figures in funny poses for when the morning shift staff come on duty.

In a heartwarming twist the advert ends with a lottery win for the factory staff – the ad is for the Spanish lottery– and a surprise for the solitary watchman.

And the good news is you don’t need to understand Spanish to understand, and appreciate, the video!
