Synopsis

Directed by Floria Sigismondi,[3] the music video shows a post-apocalyptic world in which children, attending school, get ready to go outside and play. The children, after having their ears and mouths inspected by the faculty, putting on many layers of clothes as well as ominous gas-masks, exit the school building and emerge to a yard covered in black ash, which falls from the red sky like snow. The children play in the ash, throwing it at one another and making snowmen out of it as well as roughhousing with each other, causing one of the kids to lose her gas mask. Her classmates gather around her as she falls to the ground and eventually closes her eyes. The video won the "Best Video" award at the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The music video was originally planned for another song on the album, "untitled #4" (a.k.a. "Njónsavélin").[

The song is also used extensively in the film After the Wedding.
