Synopsis

The Breeders perform "Saints" against two contrasting backdrops. In the winter scenes, the band plays outdoors in a snow-covered woodland, with Kim Deal appearing behind a colorful sky-patterned mask. The video then shifts to a summertime carnival, where the group wanders among fairground attractions and performs amid the crowd. The seasonal contrast mirrors the song's fascination with fairs, heat, movement and fleeting encounters, giving the clip a loose, playful atmosphere rather than a conventional narrative.
