instead of that woman wearing white eerie dress which can be mistaken as a white lady of the sea or a sea godess (i duno it might by fantastical in ur viewpoint) you could have ordinary citizens in there e.g. a fisherman and his life being affected by the oil spill or sumthing,...
chances are that if you do not have an idea about the tragedy, you won't be able relate to this clip...
