The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

Harold (Jim Broadbent) is an ordinary, unremarkable, retired man who lives quietly with his wife Maureen (Penelope Wilton). One day a letter arrives from an old friend who is dying and wants to say goodbye. Harold writes his reply but when he goes to post the letter he doesn’t... he just keeps walking, leaving his seaside town in South Devon to deliver a message to his old friend, Queenie, some 500 miles away in her hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed. Harold embarks on a walk of hope, determined to travel the length of England to save his friend: as long as he walks, Queenie must live. Based on Rachel Joyce’s novel, this is an uplifting tale of self-discovery and redemption
