Of course you can learn to love again. But, there's more effective ways than being admitted to a hospital where they clip your eyes open à la Orange Méchanique to watch memories of better times. The heroine in this "short film" comes to that realization and busts free, on a quest to find her man again.
And despite the very forceful warning on the video's YouTube page that makes it sound like you're about to watch The Human Centipede —
This film contains some nudity and scenes that viewers may find offensive. Caution is recommended. Not suitable for under 18
— the video is beautiful and artistic. It's suitable for anyone who can see a pair of bared boobs.
Mika: "This latest short film is a collaboration with the Chilean director Cristian Jimenez. After seeing his film Bonsai, this seemed like an exciting match. I wanted to take the kaleidoscopic dreaminess of the song and pair it up with Cristian's more realistic, surreal and moving imagery. When making these films, I give complete freedom to the director we are collaborating with, in a way that is never possible with a music video. This short film was made in Santiago with Cristian's close team and friends, and with a lot of love. I hope that watching someone else's visual reaction to the song is as surprising and moving for you as it was for me."
