Salt on Our Skin
Directed by Andrew Birkin

A bittersweet, intimate portrait of a lifelong love affair between two people from different worlds, sustained across years despite their inability to fully commit.
A Scottish woman who attends school in Paris comes home for the summer and helps take in the straw, where she meets an attractive and simple man. They begin a torrid affair despite the differences in their lifestyles. He asks her to marry him but she refuses, and they continue their separate lives but also continue their affair through the years, loving each other despite their differences.
