A video that has gone viral on social media shows the emotional—and dramatic—reunion of a father with his son after 12 years of not seeing each other.
The images, shared on TikTok by user @anileidyfructuoso, capture the exact moment when the young man surprises his father by hugging him from behind at an airport.
Upon turning around and recognizing him, the man, visibly shocked, loses consciousness and collapses to the ground in front of family members and others present.
As can be seen in another video shared by the same user, the father recovered minutes later, ultimately managing to stand up and embrace his son tightly in a scene filled with emotion that has moved millions of people.
The clip, which has surpassed 65 million views, has generated a wave of reactions on TikTok, where thousands of users have expressed their excitement and empathy for such a long-awaited reunion.
"Twelve years without seeing his son... the heart couldn't bear such joy," wrote a user, while another commented: "This shows how much the pain of family distance can hurt."
The video, seemingly recorded in an airport in Latin America, has become a symbol of the unconditional love between parents and children separated by emigration and the passage of time.
