This movie was one of the most moving touching movies I have ever seen at the film festival. I knew it was gonna be sad, but it had humour and sadness mixed together.
It was about a father who loses his son, he had an accident during his first day of The Camino de Santiago, a spiritual walk from St Jean Pied de Port in France and to Santiago de Compostela (Spain) about 780km later.
Martin Sheen plays the father (Tom) and he goes to St. Jean Pied de Port to pick up his son's body to bring him home. Instead he decided to have his son cremated and walk the Camino himself to finish his son's final journey. I don't really have words to say anything about this movie except that....it made me, a person searching for the answers and searching for happiness want to take this 780km walk. Most of you who know me...know i am not a walker or a person who likes to rough it or am I very spiritual. But I think this journey is not just about religion but about finding yourself and testing yourself. I am actually putting this on my list of things i want to do. I now want to walk the Camino and experience it for myself!
