Synopsis
Shot in grainy, home-video-like VHS style, "Would Know" follows a young couple through a series of playful, intimate and occasionally strange encounters. They tease, embrace, pose for the camera and drift through everyday spaces, while abrupt edits and lo-fi image distortions give the footage a dreamlike, unstable quality. Rather than presenting a conventional narrative, the video captures fragments of youthful closeness and awkwardness, matching the track's hazy, unpredictable rhythm with a collage that feels both personal and deliberately elusive.
