Way, The

Gorgeous landscapes, striking photography, and historical landmarks dot this inspirational, touching, 2010 film, partially based on Jack Hilt's Off the Road: A Modern-Day Walk Down the Pilgrim's Route in Spain, in which a grieving ophthalmologist (Martin Sheen) heads to St. Jean Pied de Port, France, after the tragic accidental death of his 40-year-old son (Emilio Estevez) in the Pyrenees and decides to continue on the 485-mile journey that his son started to become a pilgrim by walking the Camino de Santiago (aka The Way of Saint James) where he meets a boisterous Dutchman (Yorick van Wageningen) trying to lose weight, a traumatized and cigarette-addicted divorced Canadian (Deborah Kara Unger) dealing with abuse issues, a creatively stagnant Irish novelist (James Nesbitt) trying to get back his writing mojo, and a lively New York priest coping with cancer.
