Solveig tells the tale of The Little Match Girl

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Solveig decides to act out the story of The Little Match Girl. Her title cards are written in Danish, for historical accuracy (until 1907, the written language in Norway was more or less completely Danish, since they had previously been part of the same kingdom). The initial title card reads “Copenhagen, New Years Eve 1893”, and is followed by a clip of Solveig, dressed as a poor girl wearing a hood, and holding a box of matches, outside of a house. She walks up a tiny slope and falls down, then sits and lights a match to try to warm herself. She then looks at the house, as another title card appears, reading “Ah, look how nice it is in there, and how cold it is out here”. She is then shown peeking through the window, with her nose pressed against the glass, and her breath condensing on it. She is then seen slumping back down the wall, and emptying her matchbox, followed by another title card which reads “Only one matchstick left”. She then starts shivering and freezing, before ultimately dying, in an overly dramatic way. She earns joint fourth place.
