Holiday lights in a store window struggle to bring cheer to the winter gloom. In Denmark, Christmas is the last outpost on the long, grim trek toward spring. The North Atlantic winter offers not much more than all-day rain and dark gray skies at noon. Welcome to the birthplace of existentialism!

节日的彩灯透过橱窗，为人们带来无尽的欢乐，驱走漫长冬日里的阴郁。在走向春天的漫漫长路上，历经无数严酷的考验，圣诞节是丹麦人的最后一站。北大西洋的冬季带来的仅仅是终日的降雨和灰暗的雪地，一日的正午亦是如此。丹麦人这样呼唤：欢迎来到这存在主义的故乡！

Toohearts评图：对于线条的摆布出神入化，善于利用玻璃与凝结的水雾，使影像别具一格。色彩和谐，暗调中更显热烈，让人浮想联翩。
