Pilgrimage

The film's director Emilio Estevez is the eldest son of the film's star Martin Sheen. This is the seventh time that the father and son have collaborated in film and television. After his son Daniel (Emilio Estevez) unfortunately died in France, American doctor Tom (Martin Sheen) sets out for France to retrieve his son's body and belongings. Daniel died in the pyrenees, in a storm on his way to Santiago DE Compostela Cathedral, and died peacefully. This road leading to the church is also called the "Way of St. James". Initially, Tom's purpose was just to retrieve Daniel's body, but after arriving in France, Tom decided to re-walk the path Daniel had already walked and the one he had not yet walked, in order to better understand his son's life and better understand his own children. In the process of re-walking the path of St. James, Tom met three "hikers" who came here from different countries. They were all looking for a greater meaning in life and hoped to regain spiritual comfort in the secular world through hiking.
