Plot

A lonely woman looks at the window, watching the rain. Her husband comes home from a rainy day from work. But when the woman, seeing that he's home, is about to look at him, the man runs away who finds another woman who is drowning & the man saves her. A crowd is gathered up to see the event. He saves her, but is hallucinated. The next scene shows the same woman having a dream to a city with various people (such as two men fighting, a tiger running away, etc.). Soon the dream turns into a nightmare. Soon the sky turns red, with another woman in a black swimming suit (who is amazed). Next, a clip with Harry Houndini is committed to sacrifice himself. Shortly after that, the same woman wakes up who is happy to the man is home & soon have fun together on a beach. They come to a plane which leaves home. Soon the man and woman hold hands & look at the skyline as the plane leaves. The video ends with a shot of grass & an old-style The End title appears at the screen.
