Spirits in the Forest

Each of the fan's stories includes a Depeche Mode motif from a previous band project: riding a horse and flinging open doors (Indra Amarjargal's segment, mirroring shots in Depeche Mode: Personal Jesus (1989)); underneath the Berlin U-Bahn (Daniel Cassus runs along roughly the same route as seen in Depeche Mode: Everything Counts (1983)); in a car at night in Los Angeles (Elizabeth Dwyer sings "A Pain That I'm Used To" and "But Not Tonight," in a shot similar to much of the video for Depeche Mode: Wrong (2009), shot in downtown LA); "the king" (much of Cristian Flueraru's segment is dedicated to his photography replicating shots from Depeche Mode: Enjoy the Silence (1990)); riding a Vespa (Carine Puzenat's segment, mirroring shots in Depeche Mode: Strangelove (1987)); and bumper cars (Dicken Schrader, Milah Schrader, and Korben Schrader ride these in a brief scene, just as the band does in the video for Depeche Mode: Get the Balance Right! (1983)).
