The Hellenic Police posted a video on social media dedicated to Festival of Mother, which within a few hours attracted thousands of views and comments.

The script is reminiscent of scenes from a crime thriller, but the plot is quite different.

In the video in question,a female police officer arrives at a house following a report of an alleged “crime”. The place looks upset and all signs point to something having happened. The policewoman and her colleague examine the evidence and search for the “perpetrator”, and the suspense builds as the scene unfolds.

A few seconds later it is revealed that a young child, who had prepared a surprise for his mother, is behind the commotion. The video immediately changes tone and goes from tension to emotion, sending a message about selfless love and the relationship between mother and child.
