In this 90 second video there is a man. The man is dressed in a suit and tie. He is in a forest and looks out of breath. He looks like he has found what he has been looking for. The video then cuts to a tree. The man is then shown climbing into the tree. There is a big hole in the tree and the man falls down it. During the drop he loses his keys, wallet and phone. When the phone falls out of his pocket. Someone is ringing it. After this happens he then takes his clothes off. After falling for at least 1 minute the man lands unharmed. He then sees a light from a hole in the surface he reaches for it the, then crawls towards it. The video smoothly goes up through the soil above to the surface. It then shows a small plant start growing. This could signify the man has died and the plant has just begun life. The video could be a representation of the cycle of life. This could also mean that the man wants to become part of nature. He dumps his clothes, keys, wallet and phone. This could mean he is dumping his life away to become one with nature. At the start of the clip the man is heavily breathing. This could mean that he is being an animal by acting like one. When there is a shot on the tree the sun shines onto it. This is to signify that this is what the man wants. To the man the tree is a way to nature. As the man walks toward the tree the camera goes out of focus. This could be showing that everything except for the tree doesn’t matter. The tree is a key to another world to this man.
