Synopsis
Rather than following a conventional narrative, "A mans besades" translates the song's lyrics into a stylized visual piece. VerdCel is presented within the streets and surroundings of Alcoi, while hand-drawn imagery and projected elements expand the song's emotional and poetic dimension. The performers and collaborators become part of the composition, with the real locations providing a grounded backdrop for the video. The result is an intimate, locally rooted clip that connects music, illustration and live-performance aesthetics.
