Synopsis
Maria Minerva appears in a surreal, handmade world of bright colors, simple shapes, and deliberately rough visual textures. The video moves more like a playful collage than a conventional narrative, pairing the song's hazy electronic pulse with imagery that recalls children's television and early computer graphics. Its loose editing, artificial backdrops, and cheerful oddness create a dreamlike presentation that feels both innocent and uncanny, mirroring the track's detached vocals and softly hypnotic atmosphere.
Factoids & Trivia
