About how they got that girl that is now your grandma, how they caught the biggest fish and, of course, how they won the war. Those memories rarely reflect the actual truth, but how could they? Your memories are yours and yours only, and you can remember things any which way you want to.

howmygrandfatherwonitBean’s grandfather remembers things a bit differently. Even more differently than you might have expected. In the cardboard WWII plane epos How My Grandfather Won The War, you make the world good again. Simply by removing or killing evil? No. You paint over it. With your rubber-cord-plane.

A beautiful allegory to rose-colored memories: You are the one who has to rose-colour the past you don’t even remember correctly anymore. Were there really squids?
