This is the debut release for a Russian female duo, aged 18 (well, one is,and the other turns 18 later this month), portraying a couple of lesbianschoolgirls in the video, snogging away while a crowd of people look on frombehind a fence, all taking part in the pouring rain.
Perhaps there’s a message as to why all the people are standing behind afence – are they the ones who believe they have freedom while they’re reallythe trapped ones… or do the media just want to get off on the titilationof two young girls kissing and there’s no requirement for a credit card towatch it?
