A filmmaker has re-imagined Adele’s smash hit Hello – and made it even sadder.
You probably don’t need us to explain that the singer’s comeback single has caught on worldwide – reaching number 1 in over 100 countries and picking up nearly 500 million YouTube views to date.
However, one brave fan decided to cast out the original Xavier Dolan-directed video, flip-phones and all, in favour of re-imagining the song.
Cleber Fleith decided to take on the task, re-purposing footage originally shot by filmmaker Sal Bardo for a separate music video.
The video bills itself as the “LGBTQ version” – staying true to the original lyrical meaning but through the context of a lesbian romance.
The clip, spotted by HuffPo , sees an elderly woman (Maxemillian Corkum) decide to leave her husband while he is sleeping, packing her bag quietly.
She continues to leave the house, and walking through the snow – to re-unite with her female former lover.
Ellen DeGeneres recently shed another light on the singer’s iconic Hello video .
Ellen’s skit took a look at the other side of the call – with Adele calling up the host instead of an ex-boyfriend.
