<P> The video 's main theme is a romantic fantasy narrative . It begins with a montage of pencil drawings in a comic - book style representing motorcycle sidecar racing , in which the hero , played by Morten Harket , is pursued by two opponents , one of whom is played by English actor Philip Jackson . It then cuts to a scene in a cafe , in which a young woman , played by Bunty Bailey ( Harket 's girlfriend at the time ) , is seen drinking coffee and reading the comic book in a coffee shop . As the girl reads , the waitress brings her the bill . The comic 's hero , after winning the race , seemingly winks at the girl from the page . His pencil - drawn hand reaches out of the comic book , inviting the girl into it . Once inside , she too appears in the pencil - drawn form , as he sings to her and introduces her to his black - and - white world which features a sort of looking - glass portal where people and objects look real on one side and pencil - drawn on the other . </P>
