...Paris into the heart of the city, all to a grueling, nightmarish electro beat. Followed by a camera crew from their housing project to Sacre Coeur to Charles de Gaulle airport, they harass women, break a bottle over a café owner's head, fight with the police and commit a carjacking. The video ends with the car set aflame and the cameraman apparently beaten unconscious.
