The video is comprised of two shots. The first one shows a sliver of a city with a billboard advertising a place where to do Christmas shopping in Lodz (Poland). The other comes from Varanasi (India), and shows a man rowing his boat across a river (the River Ganges), hauling a dead animal. The shots interpenetrate to show the relationship between the two “lifestyles”.
