Synopsis
Toro y Moi and a woman spend a languid day together in the Hamptons, moving through sunlit coastal settings, quiet interiors, and stylized spaces colored by projected images. Their relationship feels intimate yet emotionally distant, with Chaz Bundick often staring blankly into the camera while his companion appears more animated and elusive. The video's slow pacing, pastel palette, and carefully composed tableaux create a dreamy but melancholy portrait of attraction, boredom, and disconnection.
