Icelandic movie poster

Certainly a different way of picturing the characters. :lol:
(The style seems to be a nod to Ilon Wikland's classic illustrations of Astrid Lindgren's books.)

Let the Right One In will be shown in cinemas on Iceland next week. In keeping with tradition, a local artist has created a specially designed film poster. This one is made by Vignir Rafn Valþórsson.

De höll om varandra i tystnad. Oskar blundade och visste: detta var det största. Ljuset från lyktan i portvalvet trängde svagt in genom hans slutna ögonlock, la en hinna av rött för hans ögon. Det största.

Wow! That IS funny. It also looks to me like a short-story challenge:
Write a short story in which our Oskar and Eli could believably be in a scene like this. Further challenge for GK or anyone else up to the challenge: Make it the final scene in the story. :ugeek:
