The inspiration, structure and spirits of „Swan Bone City” emerge from the same- titled fairytale written by Estonian poet Kristiina Ehin. In her short story she has had the ingenuity to express the most subtle human qualities combined with the general approach to meanings of life and placing it all into a rather regular yet weird far- away everyday-situation.
 
This is:
a story about matters
– sea, stones and bones. a story about dedication
– mindfulness, patience and devotion a story about time
– time as old as air and stones a story about a lover
– devotion despite of eternal inaccessibility a story about an architect
– to build a city that flies as high as the dreams a story about a girl
– to hold the living spirits and dreams together
