The video depicts a folk ritual in a European village
The video depicts a folk ritual in a European village. A man is being symbolically "plowed" on a wooden device pulled by someone in a bull mask. A man in traditional Bulgarian clothing stands on the device, holding onto the shoulders of the masked "ox," and sings while another man in religious attire assists. The ritual occurs on a paved street with cars visible in the background. Two other figures in traditional costumes are visible to the left of the frame. A bottle of Jim Beam bourbon and a bottle of champagne can be seen on the ground. A person in casual clothing films the event, and a police car is visible in the background. The sky is bright and clear, and the trees on either side of the street are bare, indicating it is winter or early spring.
