Ane Lan, Norway Europe 2004, Norway 3’50’’

A woman, or one who appearing to be so, dressed in a traditional costume is holding up a mirror in which she sees the stars of the EU flag. She starts to sing a song in which she declares her unwillingness to marry someone (read: join the EU), and hoping for a better future in solitude, singing: "If I can rule by myself". But inside her mirror there is another woman, dressed in the same costume, who eagerly puts the image of the Old Norwegian king up for auction, signing a contract.
