    Feature

Seán quits his office job and leaves Ireland to walk the Camino de Santiago. He meets fellow walker Ana, a Galician grandmother, and although they don’t speak the same language they start walking together. Over the course of their journey, they share their lives and grief with each other as strangers, freed from the restrictions of language, and discover the simple pleasure of finding a connection with a new friend, despite your differences.
