The video shows this by presenting an old man at the end of his life and then going back to childhood, thus connecting the beginning and the end. we stop running and start seeing life with new wise and innocent eyes, so getting old is the way to return to innocence. then, as we age and come to the old age, we are getting back to that start- we are getting back to that purity and innocence. we start to grow up and somewhere along the way we turn cold in a way and we loose that purity. This message is the simple fact that we start off innocent and pure. it touches upon things that all living things feel one way or the other from our birth to our death.
