Synopsis

A teenage boy moves through an increasingly strange day as ordinary domestic life gives way to surreal disturbances. His cereal erupts with milk, fog fills the house, and mirrors become objects of intense fascination as he struggles with an unseen force. The video mixes eerie supernatural imagery with the mood of an offbeat 1980s teen film. Rather than explaining what is happening, it leaves the boy's ordeal open to interpretation, turning his search for control into a dreamlike battle with a mysterious spell.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The song title "En vill hest" translates as "A wild horse."

  • The video's visual language relies on deliberately absurd images, including erupting cereal milk, a fog-shrouded home, and the protagonist's fixation on his reflection.
  • The video was nominated for the music video category at the 2010 Spellemann Awards, Norway's equivalent of the Grammy Awards.
  • The video formed part of the campaign for the "En Vill Hest" digital single, which also included remixes by diskJokke and Prins Thomas.
  • Contemporary coverage highlighted the video's unsettling but playful tone, comparing its atmosphere to Scandinavian dark pop while noting its 1980s teen-movie feel.
