Synopsis

In Venice, a troubled couple drifts through a relationship that is visibly coming apart. Lourdes Hernandez and Eloy Azorin play lovers whose shared world is marked by distance, silence and emotional exhaustion. Water, boats and the city's shifting reflections turn their separation into a visual metaphor, while a small domestic gesture involving a cup of tea becomes the breaking point. Blending romantic imagery with an increasingly melancholy atmosphere, the video follows the pair through a doomed love story that seems to sink along with the city around them.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was filmed entirely in Venice, making the city's canals and architecture central to its visual identity rather than using them as simple scenery.

• The production took approximately a day and a half. The crew had to work around the tides, and equipment was transported by boat between locations.

• Its visual style was inspired by Italian Renaissance painting. The soft, hazy photography recalls sfumato, the technique associated with subtly blended tones and indistinct edges.

• Lourdes Hernandez shares the screen with Spanish actor Eloy Azorin, whose film credits include Pedro Almodovar's "All About My Mother."

• The song was released as part of "Fuerteventura," Russian Red's second album, and the video appeared in March 2012 as the album's third single.

• The clip was presented as a music video with the ambitions and atmosphere of a short film. Its cinematic presentation was strong enough for the work to be screened at the Berlin International Film Festival.

• The video's story connects closely with the song's theme: a relationship ending, "making water" and sinking, a metaphor that links the couple's collapse to Venice's own relationship with the surrounding water.
