In the garden of my grandparents stood a cherry tree, which grew a little taller every year. I too was still growing at that time, and so did the world population and the gross domestic product. I had the feeling I would keep growing forever. Not until something began to grow inside my grandmother as well, I started to have doubts. An autobiographical documentary about the utopia of unlimited growth.
