Man Billy, a solitary young fisherman, lives with his domineering mother, Widow Pruttock. Two things govern their life: the herring harvest and their devotion to God. Into this cold and isolated life comes Sheldis, a singer with supernatural gifts. As Billy’s obsession with her grows, his mother – believing her son bewitched – will do anything to break the spell.
Filled with sea shanties, dances, hymns and folk songs, SALT is a fierce tale of faith, jealousy and demonic passion.
