  • Today, death takes place in hospitals and cemeteries. Not in living rooms and in the presence of children. You can banish it from your own walls, at least for some time. Our society should not make death a taboo, and since we cannot whitewash this topic, we should find a healthy way of dealing with the subject. Death is part of life and should be moved back a little bit closer to the center of our society.

    This motivation is at the heart of the project: "The most boring granny in the whole world."
