About this movie
A powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges we face. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to France to collect the remains of his adult son (played by Emilio Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees while walking The Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't plan on, is the profound impact the journey will have on him. Inexperienced as a trekker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey.

It is drama comedy and inspiring. Made me want to take the trip. Also leaves one with a sense that what is important in life is not the things we have but the experiences we live through.

I loved this movie. All around a good flick for all ages. Family friendly. Takes you in quite the adventure to Spain and a trek of “El Camino DeSantiago”. You see how friendships form between people that would have never met if it weren’t for the pilgrimage they all set out for. Quite a story. Because if this movie I have decided to go to Spain and go on a pilgrimage myself one day! Thanks Emilio!!!

Very inspirational movie about life and the loss of a loved one. We all need to be reminded that we need to enjoy the few moments we have, because life is short. I also love the portrayal of the El Camino. It brings out the best and worst of us, you have to face yourself and deal with what you have buried deep in your soul. Highly recommend. This makes me want to walk the Camino myself.
