The Viennese and death - that is a story of its own that has been written three million times at the Central Cemetery. However, the Central Cemetery in its function as a natural oasis has never been shown before. Tracking down ‘nature on your doorstep’ and awakening an understanding of life in the cemetery is one of the aims of this film. ‘The diversity of nature at the Central Cemetery and thus valuable local recreational space for the Viennese should continue to be preserved and promoted by the City of Vienna's species and habitat protection programme,’ said City Councillor for the Environment Ulli Sima at the premiere. At the same time, a walk through the cemetery is a walk through the history of Vienna. It is also an attraction for countless tourists and a good advertisement for the city.
