Hope in Melancholia?

I found the following video because a friend linked to it on twitter.

I also posted it on Reflections but thought the mode of my discovery made it appropriate to be shared here. Plus, I really want to know what you think.

I don't know what draws me to slightly sad videos. A few years ago, it was Kiwi. Not it's Reach. I look at this as the effort of the endeavour rather than anything else. Some people found it futile. Others think it talks about all the things holding us back from doing what we want to do. Still others looked at the power cord as oxygen. What does this video say to you?
