The video begins in a quiet interior space where a long sequence with black and white photography takes place, using a central composition with slow camera movements, which will accelerate as the development of the video progresses to end, in the streets of the city of London, mixing flashes of colour and noise.
The set design of the video uses one of the most recognizable surrealist icons: the eye, used in different planes that would recall films by Buñuel or productions by Dalí (one of the scenes is easily recognizable as a translation of Dalí's well-known sets for "Remember", by Hitchcock).
