As the darkness fades slightly, the black background is revealed to be a road seen from overhead. The laser-like lines mark the edge of road, while regular broken lines mark the centre of the road. In the darkness a vehicle moves along this road, visible by its headlights and rear lights.
The open road ahead is viewed from the driver’s seat with a man’s profile visible in the rear view mirror
The vehicle is driven along the road with the luminescent line at the right hand edge of the road. Another vehicle’s headlights can be seen in the opposite direction.

“To have paints which charge at daytime and glow at night…
At night time, vehicles illuminated by headlights travel on a road towards the camera. To the right, the road’s edge is illuminated by the three luminescent lines
[Daan Roosegaarde voice over]
…and make landscapes which are energy neutral
In darkness, Daan Roosegaarde leans over to look at the luminescent lines, then turns to look at camera
[Daan Roosegaarde voice over]
…and on the other hand just incredibly beautiful.
From road level, a vehicle, illuminated by headlights, approaches the camera, with the three luminescent lines clearly visible at the roadside
[Daan Roosegaarde voice over]
“That is something I like to call techno-poetry”
The back of Daan Roosegaarde’s head is seen as he watches the approaching headlights of a vehicle. The vehicle goes past and Dan turns his head.
