Synopsis

Set against a stark beachside landscape, the video follows a woman living in a trailer as she retreats into memories of a failed relationship. She watches projected footage and sifts through photographs, books, magazines, and other reminders of the past while the Bee Gees perform nearby on the rocks. The private ritual grows increasingly distressed as one of the keepsakes catches fire, and the flames spread through the trailer, turning her store of memories into a final, destructive act of release.
