Synopsis
Two young men drift through a windswept coastal landscape, moving between the beach, open water and stretches of rugged shoreline. Their day unfolds as a loose, dreamlike succession of wandering, pauses and playful gestures rather than a conventional story. The muted sky and expansive seaside setting give the video a suspended, weightless feeling, reflecting the song's themes of isolation and emotional detachment. Its relaxed pace and summery imagery turn the coast into a place where time seems to stand still.
