At first we can see a close up of a main charecter that woke up under the bridge oudors. He wears really old dirty clothes and in his hands is jar probably full of coins ,he sleeps outdoors so we understand that our main character is homeless here starts depressing music as sound bridge which is going to play all over the video. Next scene he is in uderground watching at the girl shot/reverse shot. Than he steals soap from the small shop match on action. In the next shot he washes his t shirt than he goes in a building where is low key lightig there is a boxing ring with a huge coach in it. Our main charecter gives his jar full of coins to this coach close up than coach answer with giving him boxing clothes so without words you can understand he just paid for traning. They started to train coach was showing him boxing moves mid shots. He was doing push ups. And stood on punching bag. After he just felt asleep outdoors. Next morning he is looking for money he is working as a gardener with imigrants mid shots then he gets some money (close up). He brings them to the coach, and train again. Skipping,punching bag (mid shots) . Than it shows close up of hiss gold cross and he sells it mid shot, he gets money close up.
