"I'm going to walk the Camino de Santiago... Both of us." – Tom, referring to himself and his son's ashes.

Why watch this? How can you grieve a child you let down? Start by honoring them.

Plot Summary: After losing his estranged son on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in the Pyrenees, an American ophthalmologist decides to complete the trek himself. Along the way, he encounters a diverse group of fellow pilgrims, each with their own reasons for undertaking the arduous journey. Through shared experiences, the unlikely companions bond and the father embarks on a path of grief, understanding, and self-discovery.

Dad's Preview: It must have been exciting for Emilio Estevez to direct his own father, Martin Sheen. This film is about a self-absorbed doctor, Tom, whose son dies unexpectedly while walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Tom, stricken with grief, decides to take the walk himself and spread his son's ashes along the way. This is a great film about pain, accepting help, and finding the starting point where healing can begin.
