Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The spot opens with a wide shot of a KIA standing in what appears to be a traditional car testing environment. However, the test quickly turns into 7 seconds of playfully re-imagined mechanisms, simulating everyday scenarios our hard working KIA car would go through during an average 7 years. Although only a short test, the car is subjected to a number of trying conditions; heavy rain, frost, heat, uneven road, mud splattering, an attack of bouncing balls, an erratically opening and closing boot door and a finale of dry leaves blasting from the bonnet. But in case the audience misses some of the action in this lively sequence, it plays again; but this time in slow motion, accompanied by the cheerful soundtrack, it is now possible to take in all the colourful and playful details of this imaginative yet rigorous testing and the promise of its 7 Year Guarantee.
