In 1930, a group of Indians led by a frail, elderly man marched a distance of 241 miles. They marched for salt.

Set against the backdrop of Gandhi's original journey, this is a road movie about issues of livelihood in modern, globalizing India. It is a documentary about 'the salt stories' of our times.
