Power corrupts. Also you and me. More than we like to admit.  
"In the course of this project I have distilled the essence of the Russian fairy tale and updated it to our own times. My central concern in this new interpretation is themes such as power and love, but I also address the rampant consumerism of our time, our egoism, and the problem of dead centres of personal development." —Andrey Kaydanovskiy
