The Ultimate Gift DVD — 

This movie begins with the death of the patriarch of a family worth billions of dollars.  As we learn of three sons and one daughter who all were raised by a single father with more money at their disposal than any of them could appreciate.  Each of these children has an attitude of the rich and find no time to serve mankind.  One son, however, is adventurous and travels to far away reaches.  On one of his travels, while traveling with his father, the son takes off in his small plane and ends up crashing it and dies.  So, we learn of his son and widow at the funeral.  The son was never told the truth about his fathers death and was raised with the single goal of spending his trust fund. 
 
At the reading of the will, each family member is given a small inheritance (small compare to the billions).  As they're given an item, they are asked to leave the room.  When they get down to one person, the widow of the adventurer, her son arrives.  He is given the final inheritance, a challenge to grow up.  The grandson must learn to live with nothing, he must do an honest month of work, and, he must find a friend.  In doing so, he learns that the people he's filled his life with have been no friends, but have hung onto him because he had a trust fund. 
 
The story unfolds with the 12 lessons of life for this grandson.  In the unfolding story, the grandson meets a young girl and her mother.  The young girl is gravely ill and the mother is trying to make the girls last days as pleasant as possible.  Their new friend learns the value of the honest relationship, a true friendship, and through this learns his purpose in life.
 
This movie is Wonderful!  You'll love it.
