The Area of Darkness

A hand holds a small, clear, spherical object against a dark green background. The scene cuts to a close-up of a man's face, his eyes closed and face wet with tears. The view shifts to a dark, blurry scene with faint green lights. The sequence then shows a wide-angle, distorted view of a busy city street with pedestrians walking on the sidewalk and cars on the road, under a bright sky. The camera moves forward along the street, capturing the flow of people and traffic.
