- Description
The video tells a getting-lost-to-be-found story in which the main character leaves behind her known, symbolized by her car, also representing society and conformity - to explore the unknown of her inner self. After connecting with the environment, surreal elements and characters start to appear and she joins a dance of transformation, a rite of passage that reveals wonders and new possibilities.
The creation process
When I asked Onn Halpern to collaborate together on this clip I couldn’t imagine the resonance that this creation generated in the people around us.
We gathered up ideas, we did brainstorming sessions and diagrams.
I was scared: I had never created such a complex clip before, involving people, logistics, transportation, material rentals, actors, sound design, choreography, dancers and a real piano on a field in the middle of the Swiss countryside.
After months of preparation and storytelling, the shooting day was approaching rapidly but there were still many question marks concerning the logistics: for example, we hadn’t yet found the main character; we didn’t know how many people would have shown up for the dancing; we hadn’t yet found the right spot for the shooting and if we wanted to use someone’s land we needed permissions. Eventually, the actual casting and location scouting was figured out in days (I’d say even hours!!): everything suddenly came up together!Filmed in La Rogivue, (Maracon), 1613, Switzerland.

Lyrics
C’è un falco che caccia sulla strada
E ha scelto me
Serpente che si morde la coda
E quando mi vedrà
Quando calerà
Su di me
Lui mi attaccherà
Lui mi mangerà
Heal the ouroboros
and tomorrow will be sun
Heal the ouroboros
And nobody will be sad
Oh I have found your love
And I’ve found it at home
Oh I have found your love
And I’ve found it at home
Oh I have found your love
And I’ve found it at home
(In questa notte di luna)
Heal the ouroboros
And tomorrow will be sun
Heal the ouroboros
For nobody will be sad
Heal the ouroboros
And tomorrow will be sun
Heal the ouroboros
For nobody will be sad
