And the Snows Turned White

Overview

The story of a man who, finding himself in a foreign land, encounters winter, illness, and the realization of his inevitable death. Abandoned by his family, he finds support only in his brother, whom he asks to bury him under a viburnum tree so that birds will come and sing songs to him. Visually, the video contrasts with the song's content: instead of winter landscapes, the viewer sees a desert, sand, and hot colors that emphasize the themes of loneliness, mortality, and the illusory nature of the legacy that a person strives to leave behind. This is a work about alienation and the fragility of human life, but also about friendship and memory that unites across time.
