Espriella chose to do a grueling shoot, climbing to the peaks of Oceta moor, with a real pain along the way. The artist, in addition to his video work, clearly shows that assumes its mission of catharsis, where he vents his feelings and exposes his vulnerability without any shame. It's the first time we see him showing himself in such a vulnerable way. without his prosthetic leg, But his purpose is not to elicit pity or compassion from the viewer. On the contrary, Espriella displays his strength and his rage, and The song perfectly complements these images.
