THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY
BOOK TICKETS: www.ticketsource.com/talkiescommunitycinema

Jim Broadbent stars as Harold Fry in this beautifully observed and moving adaptation of Rachel Joyce’s bestselling novel.
When Harold learns that an old friend, Queenie, is dying, he sets off to walk the 450 miles to see her — convinced that as long as he keeps walking, she will stay alive.
With Penelope Wilton as Maureen and Linda Bassett as Queenie, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a warm, thoughtful and quietly uplifting film about love, loss, friendship and second chances.
