"Sell out warning! A beautifully shot documentary following the seasonal rhythms of an off-grid nonagenarian deep in rural Canada. With her stubbornly analogue existence of land cultivation and self-sufficiency, Agatha’s a slow-living ecofeminist inspiration who’ll make you swear off tech forever. Reject modernity! Embrace tradition! Grow some vegetables and throw your phone into the sea!"

In a world shaped by speed and excess, 90-year-old Agatha Bock’s off-grid life offers another path.
Fiercely independent and alone on her ancestral farm in Canada, Agatha cultivates heirloom seeds, vegetables and flowers entirely by hand, preserving generations of ecological knowledge and sustainable practice. Without running water or modern technology, her daily rituals reflect a profound connection to land, seasonality and self-sufficiency.
Filmed over six years by an all-female crew on luminous 16mm, Agatha's Almanac immerses us in handmade textures, rural sounds and meditative processes; a quietly powerful window into a defiant way of living.
