Camino

A priest in Copenhagen dies from cancer. Her last wish was, that her husband and their daughter should walk the Camino, to try to find a solution to their problems. The two haven't been speaking for several years.

The daughter is not that keen to participate, but ends up giving her father a chance, now that her mother has died. So off they go to Spain to walk and hopefully talk. The calculations are that it should be possible to complete the walk in eleven days. It's clearly awkward for both to be having this intense way of some kind of spiritual learnings.

The first half of the walk goes by without any signs of improvement on their relationship. But things gets drasticly changed when the father falls and get a concoction, they now have to stay at a small restaurant for a few days, and suddenly changes the way they communicate and they try to be more truthful to each other.

The film is starring two of the absolute best actors in Denmark. The daughter is played by Danica Curcic and the father by Lars Brygmann. So in that sense you, as a viewer, are very well covered. It's an okay film, but two things could've been better. Firstly the conversations should as days go by, have been more deep, the secrets that the two have for each other, could have been more talked about. The second thing is, that the strange "falling-in-love" near the end should certainly not be a part of this film. It feels wrong, and would never have taken place in real life.
