The video cycles through a series of black and white images, beginning with a group portrait of three men in formal and military attire, followed by a close-up of one man in a military uniform, then a composite image of two men in winter gear at a polar station, a wider shot of the same two men with equipment, a shot of a man standing beside a weather instrument, and finally returning to the initial group portrait. The setting transitions from an indoor, formal environment to an outdoor, snowy polar landscape.
