She lands in a desert where she builds herself a home amongst the animals. She grows tired of her life there, and she flies away again and lands at the South Pole. She tries to live as a fisher woman with an igloo house, but once again tires of her life. Her last attempt at a happy home lands her in a forest, but she leaves this place as well. The video ends with her flying off into the sunset in her hot air balloon.
