Agnes isn’t doing all that badly, all things considered. She has a steady supply of amphetamines and alcohol, lives in a cozy spot in the woods with her buddy Hansi, and together they top up their welfare money by selling home-brewed liquor.

But happiness can’t last forever, and one day Agnes receives serious news from her doctor. She has to get sober — and fast. It might be her only chance to see her daughter Leah again…

Agnes against the world is a warm, gritty, and humorous story about a woman on the fringes of society.
