A short video in which Monsieur Delmotte is filmed next to a traffic light on a busy street. When the light, indicating if pedestrians can cross, jumps to green, he crosses the street with his face and hands painted in green, imitating the icon on the light. When the light is red, he stands still next to the traffic light – face and hands covered in red paint – and slowly balances from one leg to the other.
