A coming-of-age dark comedy set in the 90’s about a dorky teenager heartbroken after a remorseless breakup. He escapes by fever dreaming about a carefree relationship with a young TV star, but despite his newfound romance as well as a dazzling makeover, things take a surreal and distressing turn. Heavily inspired by Aki Kaurismäki’s body of work, the video aims to capture the rollercoasters of evocative and miserable thoughts that come in the aftermath of a breakup in the form of a nostalgic teen movie. Part of the Korean indie rock artist The Black Skirts’s English language EP “Good Luck To You, Girl Scout!,” his first release in over two years.
