Synopsis
Set against the wild, wooded landscape of Cod Beck in North Yorkshire, the video follows three costumed figures moving through an otherworldly natural environment. Their journey is intercut with striking images of wolves, creating a connection between human vulnerability and the instinctive life of the wilderness. Rather than presenting a literal storyline, the film works as a dreamlike passage into the unknown, echoing the song's themes of escape, companionship, transformation, and following someone beyond familiar territory.
