Leafing through her beloved photo album, the woman takes viewers along the journey of her life, challenging them with the question, "What do you see, when you look at me?" She urges viewers to look beyond her aging exterior and see the young girl still inside. Although poignantly referring to the cruelty of nature and the too-fast passing of time, the video's overall message is a proud tribute to the vibrancy and agelessness of the human spirit.
