It is dark. A match is lit and in the flickering light we see a robot arm that lights a candle. It picks up a pingpong ball and cirles it slowly around a candle. On a projection on the backdrop the miniature solar system is enlarged. Then it builds a city using wooden blocks. The backdrop turns into a window with a view on the skyline. The robot picks up an actor and puts him next to the window. It gives the actor a book, the actor reads: 'Once upon a time...'
