In this interpretation, Sleeping Beauty lives in isolation in a world shaped by hedonism, in which he creates a social panorama in a kind of chamber play. Only through a fall does she land on the ground of facts. She falls into a deep sleep in which the unconscious penetrates to the surface. Sleeping Beauty finally awakens in a reality that is new to her and that will make her a self-confident and self-determined woman. With a lot of humor bordering on the absurd, Andrey Kaydanovskiy deals with the difficult process of growing up and emancipation from your parents' generation and home. He creates the story of the search for self-determined freedom and identity - but also tells of incredible power, beauty, love and longing.
