„"Descending from a Story" is the fifth fairy tale creation by artist Valentin Avrigeanu, after "Honey Thieves", "Tale from the Golden Forest", "Forget-me-not Flower" and "In the Night When the Year Changes".

In the versified show – a children's fairy tale, Kindness, Courage of Wisdom and Justice confront Greed, Enmity and Stupidity that the evil ones (Ghionoaia, Cyclops, Voivode Minte-Seacă) try to spread in the world in order to rule it. In the world imagined by them, only fear, cowardice, hopelessness, hatred would reign. Fortunately, the positive characters fight and succeed in discovering and restoring the Truth to its rightful place, so that the moral value of the show – a plea for honor, justice, respect – is undeniable.
