It is a music video for the Nadine and Charline song "Something Wicked This Way Comes"[1] and is about a driver who builds a motorcycle to escape a dystopian society[2].

Plot
Edit
In a gray dystopian society, motor vehicles are banned. A man, the driver, walks by a group of police destroying a car. The driver moves on and returns to his home, where he has hidden a sleek black motorcycle in his garage. He had acquired the originally-broken down motorcycle from a shady dealer, and spent a long time repairing the motorcycle.
The driver drives the motorcycle and out among the people. The police are alerted and set up blockades. The drive swerves to avoid the blockades, and ends up smashing through an alley. Large, black gates close shut, but the drive smashes through and escapes into a tunnel. On the other side of tunnel, lush forest is seen. The driver continues to drive.
The driver ends up in a normal city, clogged with traffic. The driver inadvertently runs a red light, and is pursued by the police. The driver escapes into an alley and crashes into a junk yard, where he is surrounded by discarded cars and motorcycles. As the police approach, the driver is able to drive away. The drive flees the city, and ends up in the mountains. After a moment of contemplative resting, the driver drives on into the unknown.[2]
