In the video, a person is seen holding a pair of pliers in one hand and a paper towel in the other. The person is standing in front of a sink with two faucets. The person uses the pliers to twist the paper towel, creating a makeshift filter. The person then places the filter into the sink and turns on the water, allowing the water to pass through the paper towel. The person adjusts the filter to ensure it is securely in place. The video is shot in a well-lit bathroom, and the person appears to be demonstrating how to use the filter.
