SYNOPSIS:

One can see the profile of a man and a woman, gazing at each other
under fireworks.The scene is in slow motion, with romantic atmosphere
and music that evokes a sense of love.

The video uses film language cliches to describe a love story via fireworks.
After a while the idyllic images fade away and the scene opens again, with the same actors and fireworks. It’s the identical scene but now in reverse :
The fireworks implode,“falling” faster and faster on the couples heads. The rhythm and the music speed up, evoking a "fight" between the couple.

The video is set on loop.
