What Is The Story?

Harold Fry has a perfectly comfortable life. He hasn't done anything particularly exceptional - but that is about to change. When he receives news that his old colleague Queenie is terminally ill, he find himself walking from his home in South Devon to reach her all the way in Berwick-Upon-Tweed - a journey of 627 miles. On this epic trek, Harold reflects on the way his life has panned out, the mistakes he made, and the people around him - all while meeting fascinating strangers.
