## Background

The music video of "Can't Stand the Pain" was directed by Vladimir Andonov and Dimitar Karakashev, shot by Jean Trendafilov, and it was the first video to be presented on cinema in Bulgaria. The basic conception of the clip is about the disappointments in life, caused by higher expectations in childhood. The idea is presented by a little girl with her toys, metaphorically describing desires and situations, which have their real life equivalents in the video, but with different, unexpected and disappointing denouements.
