Symbolism in `When You Love Someone

"When you Love Someone" tells the story of a boy who tries to run away from his love, after realising that his memories are the only thing he still keeps from his past. 

The idea for this project was to create a simple, yet inspiring video, something that could actually make people feel better, awakening deep feelings and emotions. While the original story doens't search for great attention, its potencial remains on the beauty of the images and landscapes, combined with the musical experience. Our goal was not to impress the public with a remarkable screenplay, but to give a brighter look to your day. We hope we did it. Thanks!

In the absence of text (words), this short film may be too abstract for some.  "I don't get it" and "What just happened?" are two comments.  But to convey love purely in visual and soundtrack is creative.  Things become symbolic and visceral, thus more evocative.  This, instead of logical or precise.

The terrain this dude hikes through is lush and stunning, yet rugged and hilly, and that's a terrific metaphor for the ambivalent nature of a breakup.  We find that he had just headed to the neighborhood park.  The little wildflower he picks up is a reliving of memories for him and in the process a working through of his loss.  Sleep is a kind of elixir, so when he wakes up, he isn't exactly rid of his malaise but he feels better and he begins to see life as fresh and playful again.
