Synopsis
A mysterious figure moves through a strange in-between world where ordinary natural settings take on an uncanny, dreamlike quality. Forest landscapes, open fields, and Scottish Highland cattle become part of a quiet visual journey that feels suspended between reality and fantasy. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the video builds an impressionistic atmosphere around "Where The Smog Is Too Low," using simple images and unexpected encounters to suggest isolation, wonder, and a passage into an unfamiliar dimension.
