Synopsis

An animated space opera follows a lesbian starship captain as she searches the cosmos for her abducted lover. Moving through distant planets, star fields, and surreal sci-fi landscapes, the captain confronts isolation and loss while remaining emotionally tethered to the woman she loves. The video's psychedelic imagery, futuristic characters, and comic-book action turn the song's themes of longing, alienation, and weightlessness into a colorful intergalactic adventure.
