Greta Scacchi plays a famous feminist activist, while
Vincent D'Onofrio portrays a humble Scots fisherman in this film from director
Andrew Birkin. Despite the obvious ideological chasm between them, the two fall in love. The couple spend the rest of the film running away from commitment, only to be reunited at every turn. Salt on Our Skin is also known under the title Desire. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
