This video aims to be a visual journey that explores the internal tensions related to faith, detachment, and the search for self in a world where spiritual certainties seem to slip away. The remix of "Eternidad," already a symbol of breaking with tradition, serves as the starting point for a sensory experience that goes beyond simple musical narration, delving into the depths of existential conflict. Filmed in Madeira, the video follows the journey of three individuals, each in their own way, distancing themselves from a spiritual sense of belonging, in a process of disillusionment and liberation.

Through visual symbolism, natural landscapes, and a minimalist setting, the video expresses the idea of inner alienation—a journey not so much toward a defined destination but rather a continuous search for meaning. Far from offering easy explanations, the video invites multiple interpretations, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own experiences of faith, loss, and how spirituality can transform into an experience of dissent and detachment.

The cinematography plays a key role in reflecting the characters' emotional turmoil, using dramatic light and shadow contrasts to depict uncertainty and confusion. The costumes evolve to mirror the characters’ crises, from traditional clothing to more modern, rebellious outfits. The editing mirrors the song’s rhythm, alternating between introspective and intense scenes, culminating in the final act of separation.

In Spain, the hood—known as the capirote—is a striking symbol of Catholic penitence, prominently featured during Holy Week processions. Worn by penitents, the conical hat serves both as a mark of humility and anonymity, allowing individuals to undertake acts of self-mortification and reflection in solidarity with Christ’s suffering. Its historical and cultural significance endures, encapsulating a unique blend of religious devotion and tradition.
