Synopsis

Our take

Andrew Kötting, that great wanderer of British cinema, enlisted the help of some friends to embark on a “great English pilgrimage.” Made in the tradition of the Pilgrim’s Progress, this psychogeographical wonder is an exquisitely textured, quixotic odyssey into Britain’s eccentric heart.
