The movie follows the journey of six pilgrims, who, in their old age, decide to take on the grueling journey of the Camino de Santiago, a famous pilgrimage route in Spain. The pilgrims come from various backgrounds and have their unique reasons for taking on the pilgrimage. One of the pilgrims is Mannu Domingo Jr, from Las Vegas, who has Parkinson's disease and a deep faith in God. He is accompanied by his wife and daughter on the journey. Another pilgrim is Sue Morris, who lost her daughter tragically and is seeking closure and inner peace. Neil Le Roux, a retired teacher from Australia, is also one of the pilgrims, accompanied by his wife and granddaughter.

The movie begins with the pilgrims starting their journey in St. Jean Pied De Port, a small town in France, from where the Camino route begins. The route takes them through the Pyrenees mountains and various towns and cities in Spain.

The movie showcases the beautiful scenery of Spain, the breathtaking views of the mountains and the lush green landscapes, and the rich culture and traditions of the Spanish towns they pass through.

The pilgrimage is not an easy task, and the pilgrims face physical challenges like blisters and exhaustion, as well as emotional challenges. They openly talk about their struggles, share their stories of loss and pain, and learn to accept their limitations. However, they also experience moments of immense joy and feel a sense of accomplishment when they complete each leg of the journey.

The movie showcases the spiritual aspect of the pilgrimage as well, as the pilgrims visit various religious sites along the way, participate in masses, and discuss their faith. The pilgrimage allows them to connect with their inner selves and witness the kindness and generosity of strangers who offer them food and shelter along the way.
