Synopse
DOCUMENTARY A life like a hand-written cookbook: the portrait of a legendary aunt becomes a hymn to the power of tenacity – charming, moving and full of quiet wisdom. In the vast expanses of Canada, 90-year old Agatha leads a life far removed from modernity. She runs her farm -- without a husband, but with an unshakeable passion for gardening. Agatha is a woman who has stored generations of rare plant seeds and stops her world from falling apart with sticky tape and admirable persistence. With neither a driving licence nor a mobile phone, Agatha’s daily rituals form a living counterpoint to our world – a life full of tiny miracles.
