Spanish term or phrase: Por medio de tentáculos danzantes en macabra ceremonia, la planta se ...etc...
La versión tripy del vídeo empieza al estilo Plan B From Outer Space, con musas de opereta urdiendo canciones de sirena y una planta carnívora y transformista dirigiendo la acción. Por medio de tentáculos danzantes en macabra ceremonia, la planta se convierte de chico a guitarra con músico incluido a lechuga fumadora y devoradora, en hiperveloces mutaciones. Da vida para luego estrangularla con una exquisita coreografía unipersonal. En una animación en blanco y negro, que recuerda al mago japonés de ilustraciones imposibles Fukuda, un trabajo simple nos hace de forma instantánea prisioneros oculares. La belleza de la canción termina de tejer el encanto. (yes it's all from the same incomprehensible text!! How do you approach this kind of material???)
