Story: |
From the beloved director of Chocolat and the Oscar-winning screenwriter
of Slumdog Millionaire comes the inspirational comedy Salmon Fishing in
the Yemen. A visionary sheik (Amr Waked) has a big dream - to bring salmon
fishing to the desert. Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his
representative (Emily Blunt) to turn his dream into reality, an extraordinary
feat that will require the involvement of Britain's leading fisheries
expert (Ewan McGregor) who happens to think the project both absurd and
unachievable. That is, until the Prime Minister's overzealous press
secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on for its potential as a 'good will'
story. Now, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an
upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.
