Synopsis

A lonely man moves through a strange, dreamlike world populated by mourners, children, and shadowy figures. As memories and visions blur together, he searches for a way to reconnect with the woman he has lost. Aoife O'Donovan appears as a ghostly presence, watching from beyond the physical world and attempting to communicate with her former lover. The narrative unfolds like a compact supernatural short film, using ritualistic images, theatrical performances, and an atmosphere of grief to complement the song's dark, lonesome mood.
