Synopsis

The clip is built around Heather Nova's performance in Spanish locations, using changing shots and atmospheric outdoor imagery rather than a conventional narrative. Nova is repeatedly shown singing while the camera moves through the surrounding landscape and returns to close views of her. The editing follows the song's shifts in intensity, creating an impressionistic portrait instead of a story with named characters or a defined plot. Its emphasis is on place, mood and Nova's presence, complementing the song's reflective, open-ended feeling.
