I was in Rome at the start of the year with my girlfriend and came across this little shop window on a side street. Immediately I thought of the old Svankmajer and Brothers Quay films, if you don't know anything about these films check out this site.

Well there is definitely a story in this little shop. I had a look in the window and behind all the dolls is a little work shop with all sorts of antiques and trinkets, it wasn't open though. So got back and started having a look around the eld inter-web and found a load more people through the years had been taking photos of the same shop front. Lots of different arrangements...more of a story.
So now I have an idea for a short.
Here's a few more I found.
