Far From The City brings authentic documentary stories from remote villages and mountain communities, showing the daily lives of people who preserve traditional ways of life.
Meet Grandma Firuze, a 98-year-old woman maintaining a resilient mountain life alone in a remote corner of the world.
Living at the foot of the mountains near Zaqatala, Azerbaijan, Firuze continues to preserve traditional ways of life despite her advanced age. Even without official documents to confirm her exact birthday, her daily routine remains rigorous and purposeful. We follow her through a typical day as she tends to her vegetable garden, gathers wild plants, and knits winter socks from sheep’s wool to support her descendants.
This documentary captures the raw reality of her remote village existence, far from modern comforts. From washing clothes by hand in cold water to lighting her home with a kerosene lamp, her homesteading practices are a testament to self-sufficiency. Her story highlights the profound strength required for simple living when one chooses to stay in the place where they grew up.
