Harold Fry (Jim Broadbent) is an unremarkable, 60-something man who has so far failed at all the important things in life. When he learns that his dear friend Queenie is dying, he walks to the post box to send her a letter, but realises that a letter is not enough and decides to keep walking – all the way across England to her hospice, some 800 kilometres away. Surprising himself as much as his wife (Penelope Wilton), Harold embarks on a journey of hope, determined to do whatever he can to keep Queenie alive.

Based on the bestselling 2012 novel of the same name by Rachel Joyce, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry offers a life-affirming tale of self-discovery and redemption.
