Synopsis

In a brightly colored suburban setting, a woman deals with the aftermath of a violent breakup in an unsettlingly playful way. While she appears to carry on with everyday domestic routines, the video gradually reveals that her former partner has been dismembered and is being disposed of piece by piece. The macabre scenes are contrasted with cheerful gestures toward neighbors and upbeat band performance footage, creating a deliberately surreal mix of black comedy, pop imagery, and revenge fantasy.

Factoids & Trivia
