Music video
editThe music video for the song was filmed in 35 mm[2] and directed by Paolo Monico.[3] Released on 27 September 2004,[3] it was shot in Los Angeles, between Venice, Santa Monica and the Vazquez Rocks.[3] The cinematography is by Patrizio Patrizi, while Francesca Chiappetta was credited as the executive producer of the video.[4]
In the video, Pausini walks through the roads of Los Angeles. After witnessing the arrest of a man, Pausini enters in a café, where she meets a boy handcuffed to his girlfriend, and she soon realizes that the barman is also handcuffed.[4] Several other people are later shown with handcuffs on them, representing relationships which, for better or for worse, look to be unbreakable.[4] Only in the second part of the video, some of the people met by Pausini are able to free themselves from their duties, while others will be trapped forever.[4]
Other scenes, filmed from a helicopter,[2] show Pausini singing on top of a mountain, and they were shot without using any body double.[5] This part of the video wants to highlight Pausini's personal willing of change and independence.[4]
