This ten-minute musical is based on the fairy tale The City in the Snuffbox, written by Russian writer and musicologist Vladimir Odoevsky, in which a young boy tries to find out how a snuffbox and to enter it. In a dream, he imagines that he really entered the snuffbox, inside which was an entire city. The bright colors and abrupt style of drawing reinforce the impression produced by the chaotic scenes of the "world" of the box - the whole thing can seem almost scary.
