In the video you see a woman with a drum set under her burqa. She plays her instruments reaching dramatic heights despite the voluminous folds of material in which she is enveloped. She begins with filigree rhythms that gradually swell into ear-piercing and almost enraged but precise drumming. Only her eyes are seen in the beginning, then slowly her entire figure comes into view and finally the camera pans towards the audience.
