Abstract:
Aganetha Smart, a former Olympic athlete famous in the 1920s, is now 104 in a nursing home, forgotten by history. When her quiet life is disturbed by the unexpected arrival of two young strangers, Aganetha begins to reflect on her childhood in rural Ontario and her struggles to make an independent life for herself in the city. Without revealing who they are, or what they may want from her, the visitors take Aganetha on an outing from the nursing home. Aganethas memories are stirred when the pair return her to the family farm where she was raised. The devastation of WWI and the Spanish flu epidemic, the optimism of the 1920s and the sacrifices of the 1930s play out in Aganethas mind, as she wrestles with the confusion and displacement of the present. 2014.
