"Outside the Window" is a stirring blend of nostalgia and surrealism, where memory becomes both a refuge and a trap. Directed by , the video uses a vintage cassette player as the portal into a dreamlike world where childhood moments come alive.
Through a stunning interplay of live-action and animation, the protagonist journeys through sunlit recollections with long-lost friends, floating in the warmth of youth. But soon, this imagined utopia begins to shift — familiar places twist into unrecognisable shapes, and what once felt safe begins to feel inescapable. The visuals mirror this descent, oscillating between comforting softness and uncanny distortion.
Anchoured by a powerful performance from and an intricate, textured aesthetic shaped by a deeply collaborative creative team, Outside the Window doesn’t just show memory — it dissects it. The result is a rich, melancholic portrait of someone caught between past and present, fantasy and truth.
This is visual storytelling at its most poetic and unsettling — an unforgettable ode to the beautiful ache of remembering.
