After fifteen years of estrangement Ryan Feldman is reacquainted with his lonely grandmother Cecile at his grandfather’s funeral. Over the next three years, they form a relationship and the source of the deep rift between Cecile and her son, Ryan’s father, is revealed. While enduring the parallel struggles of a grandson trying to find his place in the world and his grandmother fighting for the independence that is quickly vanishing from her life, humour is their only saving grace. As Cecile falls further away from reality she slips back into her earliest childhood memories of fleeing anti-Semitic persecution. Lick Salt is a personal documentary about heritage, separation, and survival that celebrates the mishigas! (craziness) of life.
