Description
A boy, a girl, a stranger — and the memories that won't let go.
From the suburban streets of childhood to a hazy European adventure, our unnamed narrator stumbles through the dizzying maze of his life — tangled in his longing for Sara, and the infectious pull of emotional attachment she awakens in him.
He then enters the intoxicating orbit of Charlie Dellafemina, a charming drifter who offers escape — and asks everything in return.
As Charlie tightens his grip, coercing him into becoming the face of a growing drug operation, Sara's diary emerges like a relic from another life, forcing him to reckon with the power he's allowed others over his life — and the distortion of his own memories.
Salt is a poetic and fragmented exploration of first love, longing, and the people we can never quite escape.
Narrated from a place of no return, it bends time and perception, questioning the very nature of truth.
In the end, what remains — fact or fiction — are the stories we choose to tell ourselves.
