BFF24 The Salt Path

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

After losing their home and livelihood, a middle-aged couple, Ray (Gillian Anderson) and Moth (Jason Isaacs), embark on a 630-mile walk along the southwest English coast. This journey is complicated by Moth’s recent diagnosis of a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Forced out of their B&B with no money or hope, they impulsively decide to trek the Salt Path from Dorset to Somerset. Is this a desperate attempt to outrun their problems, or a final adventure?

Adapted by Rebecca Lenkiewicz from Raynor Winn's 2018 memoir, The Salt Path marks the film debut of Tony Award-winning director Marianne Elliott. Set against stunning coastal landscapes, the film is a cinematic exploration of a couple battling the elements and their inner turmoil. Anderson and Isaacs deliver powerful performances, portraying the physical and emotional exhaustion of their characters. As they journey through harsh weather and abandon their expectations of comfort, The Salt Path reveals the profound connections forged when life is stripped down to its essentials.

“A cinematic journey worth taking.” - Deadline
