The video was shot in Athens, on the Propylea Platia, the square in front of Athens University, and from the top of Mount Lycabettus, which offers a view of the entire metropolis. The Greek episode is explicitly inspired by the science-fiction fantasy elements of the films by Werner Herzog. Underlying the project is a basic storyline. The first colonies of alien visitors have been settled on the Earth for some time now. Some of them await the arrival of reinforcements as they outfit a landing strip, moving around according to their extraterrestrial time (a dimension with different coordinates from ours). The location is strategic: we are at the exact center of the city in which one of the Blue Planet’s most long lived civilizations was born. Nothing on the horizon, but the sky is charged with omens, and in the end the signals and invocations unleash the elements: rain, lights, thunder, lightning and dogs fill the screen after everyone else has left.
