The safety and warmth of a cocoon gets flipped on its head in Davis Silis' new video for Milky Chance.An injured woman is carried to safety to recover and kept in a room in a dilapidated factory. All seems to be going well until those caring for the woman discover her talent for spinning riches from seemingly nowhere.Part fairytale, part extended metaphor, Silis' work is a grim reminder of the selfishness of the human condition. The run-down industrial locations of a post-soviet Latvia serve as a perfect backdrop for a dream of shared riches turned to dust.
