REVIEW:

At first, when I first noticed this video was 18+, I became instantly sceptical – probably another video about naked women dancing – or worse, naked dudes dancing… But then it turned out to be this amazingly shot love story and I smiled all the way through the thing.

The message of the video is clear, and i think it sheds light on the issue of conversion therapy that most societies have begun to adopt. Saying that no matter how much you try to change someone, the real them is still inside somewhere and will eventually come out some way.

Sure, its not colourful and lively like most of Mika’s music videos, but believe me when I tell you that you will not regret watching this art work.

Here’s what the Director had to say about it;

It’s an urban, very contemporary piece, with a bit of humour and touches of a fairy tale feel.
