An emotional and life-affirming story of a couple whose connection with the natural world helps them overcome challenges and ultimately reconnect with one another.
Based on Raynor Winn’s bestselling book of the same name, The Salt Path follows Raynor and her husband, Moth Winn when the dual challenges of major financial fraud and a devastating medical diagnosis throw their comfortable existence into disarray.
Rather than give in, they choose to move forward, literally, packing up the bare essentials and embarking on a walk that will take them all around the South West Coast Path – stretching from Minehead in Somerset through north Devon, Cornwall and south Devon to Poole in Dorset – a 630-mile trek equivalent to climbing Mount Everest four times.
Featuring understated but deeply moving performances by Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs as Raynor and Moth, The Salt Path is an uplifting portrait of human resilience. It also captures some of the most beautiful nooks and crannies of this land of ours, inviting reflection on the way in which we relate to our landscape.
