The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

Based on the best-selling novel from UK National Book Award New Writer of the Year, Rachel Joyce, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry follows Jim Broadbent as Harold Fry: a timid, older gentleman with a seemingly ordinary life.

That is, until Harold discovers that his dear friend, Queenie, has been diagnosed with terminal illness, and his short walk to deposit a letter in the local postbox becomes a spontaneous 600-mile walk from Devon to Berwick-upon-Tweed.
