Synopsis
A young couple meet inside a sleek, retro-futurist space pod and quickly become absorbed in one another. Their physical attraction gives way to a strange journey through the mind, as vintage virtual-reality headsets transport them into colorful digital landscapes filled with twisting corridors, organic forms and surreal imagery. Blending live action with early-style CGI, the video turns Breakbot's warm disco-pop love song into a playful vision of intimacy, technology and shared fantasy.
