Film Description:

The music clip revolves around a group of individuals seeking shelter in a basement during a war. The characters include a militaristic and conservative father (DAD / Militant Man), his metalhead son (SON) who disagrees with his father’s views, a pacifist woman (DINA / Peaceful Woman) with liberal beliefs, a violinist (VIOLIN LADY), a mother figure (MOTHER LADY) with a baby carriage and young teenage daughter (The Girl), a guitarist (IGOR / Guitar Guy), an Old Man who cooks and quiet.
As they sit in the basement, the scene reveals their lives marked by misery and the prolonged duration of their stay. Most people are engrossed in their gadgets, watching news or communicating with loved ones. VIOLIN LADY provides some respite by playing the violin.
When the water supply depletes, SON takes it upon himself to find more. The conflict between DAD and DINA intensifies, resulting in DAD destroying DINA’s phone. Suddenly, a bomb blast rocks the basement, causing panic. Injured, SON returns, and DINA tends to his wounds. Reflecting on his actions, DAD offers his smartphone to DINA as a gesture of remorse. The clip concludes with everyone still engrossed in their screens, leaving the lingering question of whether wars will ever end.

The song feature musicians from different countries who have recorded their parts in 10 languages. They communicate with the characters via video chat, saying words of support and wishes for peace.
