This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

You need patience to sit through this 98 minutes documentary. The director choose to tell the stories of the ' caminante' without filming them at close range. Their voices can be heard, while fragments of their story pass by. Slowly you start to recognize them, the woman in constant anger, the man who lost his job, the man walking with his violin. MEanwhile romantic shots of nature pass by, making this a true cinematic experience. The cows in the early morning, deer, birds on a branch. Great views, when people walk through villages, on their way to the next stop, climbing the hills, looking down on the village they left that early morning. Somehow you get the feeling this is all going nowhere, but this shows that we, unlike the brave caminantes, are used plan and finish everything in our daily lives. Sure, it can be busy on the tracks, you have to get in early, if you need a bed in the pensions. But the docu also shows the other side, busy roads, burning heat and no shadow, the man that barely survived a heart attack. Not a story that explains everything, but an impression. Like a painting.
