The video shows the formerly vibrant and lively city in its current, empty state, but the harmonious composition of music, dancing and lights fills viewers with hope and anticipation. The video focuses on iconic places in the capital that used to be bustling and full of people, but currently look surreally empty. The Buda Castle, quiet Heroes’ Square and Széchenyi Bath, its pools empty, are all shown in charming sunset hues.

The interplay between contemporary choreographer János Feledi and cimbalom player Miklós Lukács fills the desolate city with a unique dynamism and hope that any uncertainty will be soon swept away by the friendly urban rumblings of Budapest.
