The Killers - When We Were Young (Alternate Version)

In honor of El Dia de los Muertos…

Filmed in Tlayacapan, Mexico, the visual style of this music video was inspired by the films Japón and Batalla en el Cielo both directed by Mexican film director Carlos Reygadas.

The music video tells the story of a young woman around the age of 20. The video opens with her arriving at a large, white, wooden cross in a rocky hill. She mourns in front of it until a man, who had been desperately searching for her, shows up and comforts her. The following scenes are mostly flashbacks that would illustrate the story of how they came to be there.

The video stars Sonia Couoh and Gustavo Sanchez Parra.

This alternate version of the video shows the woman jumping off a cliff instead of reconciling with the husband as seen in the official version.
