"A father heads overseas to recover the body of his estranged son who died while traveling the "El camino de Santiago," and decides to take the pilgrimage himself."
Has anyone seen this wonderful independent movie? Charlie Sheen's son Emilio Estevez wrote and directed this 2010 movie. You'll see the details on the imdb website. Blueray is rentable on Netflix. I highly recommend the film.
