'Be aware, we are using water everywhere!'

(The on-screen title, World Waterday 2013 The Hague, appears in large white letters against a black background.)
(A small plane performs aeronautical acrobatics and leaves a dark smoke trail in a pale grey sky.)

LIVELY MUSIC AND THE ROAR OF AN ENGINE

(A bird flies across the sky below the plane's trail. The bird flies over a peaceful residential area with light-coloured wooden houses. The detached houses have a dark grey roof and some have a balcony.)

A BIRD CALL PENETRATES THE LIVELY MUSIC

THE LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES

(The houses' front gardens are surrounded by white picket fences.)

(An old blue car is standing outside one of the houses. A box is attached to the fence next to the car and a green cable is running from it to the car. The house the car is outside of is pale grey and has a veranda.)

THE LIVELY MUSIC FADES AWAY

A BIRD WARBLES

(In a living room the on-screen text "Meet the family" floats above a girl and boy. A man and woman are in the room too. All are wearing blue. On-screen text: Two parents. The man is looking at a tablet, the woman is watching TV.)

THE LIVELY MUSIC STARTS AGAIN

QUIET TICKING OF A CLOCK

THE LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES

QUIET TICKING OF A CLOCK

(The girl is holding a pink smartphone. Next to her is the on-screen text: One girl. The boy is lying on the floor. Next to him is the on-screen text: One boy. The boy is reading a comic book.)

THE LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES

ELECTRONIC BEEPS

QUIET TICKING OF A CLOCK

THE LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES

QUIET TICKING OF A CLOCK

(The man and woman are together on a white sofa.)

(The on-screen text "And one electric car" appears in front of the blue car.)

THE LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES

(The on-screen text "A normal family" is floating in the living room. Next to the woman, who is staring into space, is the on-screen text "With normal worries". She scratches her neck.)

A LOUD BANG

(The family looks up, startled.)

(A yellow glow appears in a slightly open doorway. The father walks cautiously over to it. The mother and children watch tensely.)

A HISSING NOISE

FOOTSTEPS

THE HISSING NOISE IS ACCOMPANIED BY PEACEFUL MUSIC

(Two pans on a gas hob. On-screen text: They worry about their health, their environment, their future. The family stares straight ahead.)

(Green asparagus is cooking in a pan. The boy gets some cutlery. On-screen text: The one thing they don't worry about is water. They think there's plenty. The father pours wine out while the mother fries a large piece of meat and the girl sits at the table with her phone. The woman turns the gas off and puts the meat on a plate. On-screen text: They should think again.)

TRANQUIL MUSIC

THE TRANQUIL MUSIC CONTINUES

(The family is sitting at the table. The mother hands the girl a bowl and then picks up a plate with green asparagus. The man takes the plate from the woman and the girl gives the bowl to the boy.)

THE TRANQUIL MUSIC TURNS INTO OMINOUS MUSIC

THE OMINOUS MUSIC SWELLS

(The man smiles at the woman and gives the plate of asparagus to the boy. The mother watches him put asparagus on his plate.)

(All four are suddenly startled. They look at the pink phone, which is on the table next to the girl. The girl picks the phone up and then it goes back into its packaging.)

A TELEPHONE RINGS

BRISK MUSIC

(Images of a plane flying backwards and a busy city flash past. The traffic in the city is also going backwards. On-screen text: The amount of water used to manufacture one mobile phone equals roughly 4,000 litres.)

THE BRISK MUSIC CONTINUES

(Back with the family. The man looks at his plate. His meat disappears. The meat is one large, uncooked piece again and goes back into its packaging.)

(In a supermarket. On-screen text: To serve one juicy steak (250 gr.) a staggering 3,850 litres of water is used, partly to grow soy in Brazil. In a green field plants are watered by a large sprinkler.)

MOOING

THE BRISK MUSIC CONTINUES

(Back in the house. The boy is suddenly in his boxer shorts. His jeans are folded up and repackaged.)

(A busy city seen from above, followed by a clothes shop and a port. The on-screen text "A pair of jeans made in China" floats on top of the images. In a factory the on-screen text "The fabric dyed. Its waste water turning rivers red" appears.)

THE BRISK MUSIC CONTINUES

(On-screen text: Cotton from Uzbekistan. Rivers diverted. A ship is stranded on dry land. On-screen text: The Aral Sea almost dead.)

(In the house again. On-screen text: One kilo of jeans totals 10,000 litres. The green asparagus disappears from the woman's plate. The asparagus goes back into its packaging.)

THE BRISK MUSIC CONTINUES

(The on-screen text "Green asparagus" appears in a supermarket. Images of a port and a plane flash past. Next to a lama's head, the on-screen text: Imported from Peru, it takes 317 billion litres a year to grow millions of asparagus in the desert of Peru.)

(The blue car reverses past the light-coloured houses. Images of a site full of cars and a large factory. On-screen text: To build one automobile 400,000 litres of water are needed. For the steel alone 29,250 litres are necessary.)

THE BRISK MUSIC STOPS

PEACEFUL MUSIC ACCOMPANIED BY THE TICKING OF A CLOCK

(Back in the house. The girl is staring at the spot where her phone was, the man is staring at his plate and the woman and the boy are looking bewildered.)

THE TICKING OF A CLOCK IS REPLACED BY THE DRIPPING OF WATER

(Against a black background, the on-screen text: Should they worry? Should we worry?)

(A clock's second hand spins anticlockwise. The family is in the living room again. The man and woman are on the sofa, the girl is playing with her phone and the boy is reading his comic book.)

THE PEACEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES

(Against a black background in white letters, the on-screen text: Minimize your footprint, maximize your future. World Waterday 2013 The Hague.)

THE PEACEFUL MUSIC FADES AWAY

(People use lots of water for drinking, cooking and washing, but even more for producing things such as food, paper, cotton, clothes, et cetera.)

(The Water Footprint is an indicator of water use that quantifies and maps water use of our daily consumer goods.)
