The main characters in this video are searching and have no idea in which direction they should go. They are constantly faced with choices, without ever being able to make a perfect choice. In this way the fear arises of doing nothing at all instead. Because, after every step that you have taken, you have to make another decision and new questions arise that cannot be answered. The only reason to do anything at all is the social obsession that something must be done, and the fear of doing nothing. For, doing nothing is the heaviest task that you can perform, because you are confronted with the pointlessness of existence. Between the images of searching people, there are shots of a turbulent sea. A symbol of vitality, irrepressibility and freedom. Every attempt to join the waves is doomed to failure because the main characters can no longer muster the strength to take an important step. Only at the end of the video does one person succeed. The spirit has left the body and wanders free high in the clouds.
