90-year-old Agatha forges a solitary existence on her ancestral farm, preserving heirloom seeds in her handmade universe. Practical and esoteric, her actions predate modern conveniences. Without a drivers license, cell phone, running water, or even a functioning landline Agatha’s daily rituals form a vivid counterpoint to modern life.
