During the lockdown, there was a huge food crisis in various parts of the country, and that continues even today due to lack of employment.

Hunger is as much an epidemic as the virus is a pandemic.

Salt is about a family of three women, a mother and two daughters who tell each other stories and fake the food on their plate, in order to walk the hard line between hunger and dignity.
