Music video

The music video begins with Gigi D'Agostino stealing a CD on a music store and running away. There are many extras in this video doing day-to-day tasks and going about their daily life. As the video progresses further, the viewpoint changes from one character to another. The video then goes into a flashback at the end, which means that the story continues in an infinite loop.
