The “Papaoutai” clip depicts the pain of not having a father around in a sweet world reminiscent of the "sweet sixties". The absent father is incarnated by the full-size doll of Stromae which, with its clumsy and inappropriate attitude, represents this shadow of a presence which is not a real presence.

"The houses in the clip were actually very small - the garages were barely the size of a small car and the doors were only fit for a 7-year-old! For the indoor filming, the decorators played with perspective in order to create an impression of more depth for the viewer."
