Drawing on inspiration from "Sleeping Beauty", it tells the story of a princess afflicted by a constant weightlessness, unable to get her feet on the ground, both literally and metaphorically, until she finds a love that brings her down to earth.

The king invites everyone to the christening, except his sister Princess Makemnoit, a spiteful and sour woman.

Whenever the princess accidentally moves up in the air, she has to be brought down, and the wind is capable of carrying her off.

The court philosophers, when consulted, are unable to propose any cure that the king and queen will suffer to be used.

When the prince has almost drowned, the princess frantically drags his body from the lake to take it to her old nurse, who is a wise woman.

In 2013, a musical version by Tori Amos and Samuel Adamson inspired by the original story was premiered for the Royal National Theatre in London.

The musical was generally well-received, enjoyed an extended run in the theatre, and had its cast recording released in 2015.
