Italian directing duo Lesyeu release their stunning debut video for Palindrome.

The contemplative promo for First Time depicts an old man standing perilously close to the edge of a bridge, ready to jump into the water below and end his life. He is rescued by a stranger in the nick of time, and offered a ride to his next destination, able to share his emotions with a young kid who is riding along with them.

The stirring visual is shot in stark black and white, allowing the grittiness of the concept to shine through, and the performances are utterly relatable, with subtle nuance and an overall feeling of hope.  

"This video is a tale about this unspeakable sadness, often invisible, but that everybody knows," explain the directing duo. "Sometimes, to overcome it, an act is enough: a hug to remind us that we have skin, air in our lungs, and that we exist."
