Music video

[edit]

The music video features Émilie Simon sitting on a bed under a lamp. She then pulls out long vines and flowers from a cut in her skin. In the end, a stranger sews back her skin with a needle and a thread. Same music videos were shot for both versions, French and English.

It was directed by Philippe André[1] and produced by Wanda.[2]
