Music video
The music video features Émilie Simon sitting on a bed under a lamp. She then pulls out long vines and flowers from a cut in her skin. In the end, a stranger sews back her skin with a needle and a thread. Same music videos were shot for both versions, French and English.
It was directed by Philippe André and produced by Wanda.
