The lyrics tell the story of a swallow that flies into a home to announce the arrival of a bountiful and prosperous new year.“ FIND OUT MORE: Directed and produced by Alex Ochman Director of Photography: Denis Galenkov Camera operators: Denis Galenkov & Jan Barszczewski Production design: Sara Kuna & Jan Ochman Dance choreography: Linda Szlachetko Costume design: Sara Kuna Film edited by Alex Ochman Dancers: PODILYA dance ensemble Manchester - Filmed in Huddersfield 2017 -
