Additional Credits:

Overview: An empty room with a plant and two chairs is seen as the video beings. A woman walks through but we cannot see her most of the time. Only her shadow and maybe a second or two of her walking is seen, as if it is edited out. Flashes of nude legs appear spontaneously. Faint mumbling and footsteps are sometimes heard in the background. Nearer to the end we see the woman in stills walking through the room, knocking on a door, and another figure is seen at times. The legs still flash spontaneously. The title reappears at the end. All the letters disappear except for the "O's" and a "K." The clip ends.
