Synopsis

Ricky Martin appears as the spirit of a man who has died, watching over the woman he loved. As she continues her life without him, memories of their relationship surface through intimate flashbacks. Martin's ghost moves through beaches, forests, and other dreamlike settings, sometimes sensing her presence and sometimes appearing just beyond her reach. He also performs the song on a cliff, turning the video into a melancholy portrait of love, loss, and an emotional bond that survives death.
