With quarantine restrictions limiting the production of new video footage, one rideshare company is tapping a new type of visual medium: its audience’s imaginations.

A new campaign from Cabify Argentina and Havas’ Buenos Aires-based Hoy agency asks viewers to imagine their first trip to visit a friend or loved one after lockdown measures eventually lift.

In a calming, meditation-like voice, a narrator walks through the steps of the trip, from the music—”that song you really like”—to the activity on the street as more everyday life presumably reemerges from months of quarantine.

The visuals are simple; a stark purple screen with a pair of animated eyes opening and closing.
