The video has been designed as a crescendo ending in a (hopefully) musical apotheosis.

- It begins with «Night Raga / Pushkar »an Indian atmosphere created by David Mowat and the BEJE Raph ensemble.

- We will then meet the wolves of Syria under the castle of the terrible Hashishin

- « Valentine's Soldiers » will remind us of the deaths who, sadly, don't stop the wars.

- Then Joe Trudgeon and the Old Malthouse will play five New Orleans-Swing-Festive jazz pieces.

- Finally, during the Jam Session, the twenty or so musicians present will come together in four improvised formations, playing in a crescendo culminating in ‘Caravan’.
