Il aura suffi d'une lettre - la lettre d'adieu d'une amie qui se meurt - pour jeter Harold Fry sur les routes d'Angleterre. Quelques sous en poche, une paire de chaussures-bateau et l'espoir de la revoir encore une fois...Cottage après cottage, bocage après bocage, Harold marche, persuadé que, tant qu'il avance, son amie vivra. Il marche et repense à sa vie. Mille kilomètres parcourus pour que le destin d'Harold Fry rejoigne celui de sa femme, son fils, son amie, et tous ceux qu'il croise sur sa route...

Work Description

Harold Fry has recently retired and now, he doesn't do very much. Even mowing the lawn, like his wife Maureen tells him to do, seems too much work for him. When, one day, he recieves a lettre in a pink envelope, this lazyness changes. In it, his collegue from long time ago, Queenie Hennessy, tells him she is going to die soon from a cancer in a hospice at the other end of England. Harold, at first helpless, decides not only to write her back, but to walk the whole way from Kingsbridge to Berwick-upon-Tweed.

During his walk, he will not only meet a lot of people, listen to their story, but also make a journey into his own past, his relation to both Maureen and Quennie and his son David. He is walking to save Queenie, but is he also saving himself?

Excerpts
