    Set in the small town of Hawkins in the 1980s, Stranger Things is a spectacular adventure that follows the mysterious disappearance of a young boy named Will and the sudden appearance of a mysterious girl named Eleven. The combination of the dramatic development with respect to the classic movies of the 80's, the tense thriller depiction, and the exciting friendship and adventure of the children, and the original graphics with the dark elements that S'YTE is known for, resonate to create a unique collection of items.

    The film focuses on the Upside Down (the other side of the world), where horrible experiments and monsters are being conducted at the national laboratory, which is an important factor in the story of "Stranger Things. The dark side, which seems like a fantasy but certainly exists, is expressed in S'YTE's unique interpretation through the use of motifs such as decaying plants and trees.   Don't miss the special collection available only here.
