Product Details:
Dr. Alfred (‘Fred’) Jones (Ewan McGregor – Haywire), a rather introverted scientist at the Dept of Fisheries and Agriculture suddenly has his world thrown into turmoil thanks to a fly-fishing obsessed Yemeni Sheikh who dreams of achieving the seemingly impossible – introducing salmon to the wadis of the Yemen. With the British government desperate for a good news story in the area the Prime Minister’s fearsome spokesperson, Patricia Maxwell (Kristin Scott Thomas – Nowhere Boy) seizes on the idea and appoints the incredulous Dr. Fred to oversee the project – one he sees as one step short of madness. He is eventually won over the charismatic Sheikh and his representative Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (Emily Blunt – The Five-Year Engagement). With her encouragement and support, Fred embarks upon a journey of self-discovery and late-blooming love to bring SALMON FISHING TO THE YEMEN. |
