Duration: 05:08<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis: This music video is a symbol of inner tension, tension that\ntransforms into a breakout. This story is showed in a simple domestic language,\nusing the visual symbols of society, where domestic violence, or child abuse is\nnot only possible but very popular, even though it is not today\u2019s hot topic.\nNowadays you may say, that this violence is partly legalized, because we refer\nthose crimes as administrative and not penal. Common image of the sun (father\nin this video) that gave life to a young girl, destroys her life. It can be\nanything that we depend on, that every person depends on individually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
