Description

Imagine yourself looking into a dark night sky full of frozen stars. Lying in pleasant company on the roof of a train running through endless snowy fields. A frosty wind bites your cheeks and fingers, carrying you away into thick snow-covered forests full of fabulous animals.

The train slows down and the smoke from its chimney envelops everything so that nothing can be seen but the dark space, at the far end of which a young fortune-teller looks at you. She is the card reading and it gets cold by her eyes. Her eyes are full of stars in the dark night sky. You find yourself lying on the roof of a train running through endless snow fields...
