The goddess of creation Timbehes created the earth and humans by fertilising herself with a banana. Her creation is marvelous and idyllic. But the more people there are, the greater their hunger for bananas becomes. A critical look at our approach to consumption based on the most consumed fruit in Europe.

Boginja stvarjenja Timbehes je ustvarila Zemljo in ljudi tako, da se je oplodila z banano. Njena stvaritev je prečudovita in idilična. Toda več kot je ljudi, tem bolj hlepijo po bananah. Kritičen pogled na naš odnos do potrošnje na primeru najbolj uživanega sadeža v Evropi.
