An elderly man reflects on his life. He is a passenger aboard what looks like a luxurious private plane. At one point we see a stewardess give him oxygen, suggesting he’s not in the best of health. Through flashbacks we see how he has made his fortune.
We see grainy footage of him coming to America as a boy.
Next he recalls panning for gold in the Rocky Mountains, and we see him as a young man doing just that.
“I got lucky,” the old man relates.
The back and forth between the man of today and his past exploits continues as we see him strike it rich in Texas oil but regret the fact that he was never lucky in love.
We see him with different women at different times of his life
Finally we’re firmly back in the present, with no further flashbacks. The man explains that he has come back to Finland to find his heir, to whom he will leave his entire fortune.
He calls a young man who looks at his cell phone display, doesn’t recognize the number so doesn’t answer.
The elderly man grows frustrated as the phone rings and rings. He finally hangs up.
A supered message appears which simply reads, “An unknown number could be the most important of your life.”
We’re then informed via a subsequent super that you can text the unknown number to 164300 and “we’ll tell you who called.” The service is from Fonecta, a media company/search industry company in Finland.

Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
