The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

Harold Fry has never intended to be a hero. He's a man that has passed through life always in the margins and he feels he's failed as a husband, dad and friend. Now he's in his 60s and doesn't plan on changing her life's course. Until one day he gets the news that an old work friend, who he hasn't spoken to in 20 years, is in the hospital about to die. Harold decides to send her a letter, but when he's on his way to the postal office, he decides that's not enough. Harold suddenly decides to keep walking until he reaches the place where her friend Queenie is, more than 500 miles away. Surprising his wife and even himself, he embarks on a journey of hope the length of England.

Inspired in Rachel Joyce's betseller 'The Unlikely Pilgrimaje of Harold Fry', the film is directed by Hettie Macdonald, who has worked previously in shows like 'Normal People', 'Fortitude' and 'Doctor Who' and movies like 'White Girl' and 'Beautiful Thing'.

The cast is integrated by Jim Broadbent ('Mouling Rouge', 'The Iron Lady', 'Gangs of New York') as Harold Fry, Penelope Wilton ('The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel', 'After Life') as Maureen, Earl Cave ('The End of the F***ing World', 'Alex Rider') as David Fry and Linda Bassett ('Kinky Boots') as Queenie.
