Synopsis
A young man and woman are separated across a dreamlike mountain and woodland landscape, maintaining a mysterious connection through walkie-talkies and telescopes. Their search for one another unfolds through colorful, heavily stylized images, with compass imagery, wool-like textures and green-screen composites adding to the sense of fantasy. The video shifts between the band's performance and the pair's parallel journeys, eventually bringing romance and surreal visual effects together in a gentle, atmospheric portrait of distance, longing and emotional connection.
