Grandmothers. On the Edge of Heaven (Babusi) (2018)
“In the modern world with rapidly developing technologies, the gap between generations is increasing rapidly. Nowadays, our grandmothers and us are not separated by two generations, but by an abyss."
“They do not always know what the Internet is and the value of information in the modern world. They live with their post-war values, keep their savings in a scarf and procure products for the future. In a purse they carry photo’s of their family next to the faces of Jesus and Mary because they also are as a family for them.
They are among us now, but not really, because their consciousness is already awaiting the approaching moment to step outside the bounds of life and find themselves at the gates of Heaven, in which they desperately believe. Regardless of their confessions, grandmothers retell to each other articles about miraculous healings which they had read in newspapers and as evidence that there is life after death. I do not want to mistrust them at all, I only want to hug them and say that there is nothing to be afraid of and they are absolutely right.”
