The moss was moist and ice cold. It covered the entirety of the sun-drenched forest ground, allowing plenty of all kinds of mushrooms through. There was dark green and softer moss, lighter and needle-shaped sorts and most of all, the white reindeer lichen that sprawled over everything it could reach.

As we stumble in the backyard of the concept store Merci, to hide from a sudden shower we recognize the cute little Fiat 500 in a bright red, standing in front of the shop.
