The video shows a close-up view of a person's hand using a sifter to sift through dirt. The sifter is made of metal and has a fine mesh that allows small particles to pass through while larger pieces remain on the screen. The dirt appears to be a mixture of soil and small rocks, and the person is moving the sifter back and forth to separate the particles. The background is not visible, but the focus is on the sifting action and the dirt particles.
