A woman, or one who appearing to be so, dressed in a traditional costume is holding up a mirror in which she sees the stars of EU flag. She starts to sing a song in which she declares her unwillingness to marry someone (read: join the EU), and hoping for a better future in solitude, singning the contract and seling out the white linen from her brides chest. But suddenly she finds that there is dirt/oil in the bottom of her chest, the stars of the EU are fading and reportage images of excessive consummation, environmental catastrophe and third world starvation follow.
