A story about life, love and loss on the Camino de Santiago. The inspirational journey of six pilgrims between the ages of 50 and 80 who embark on the historic 800 kilometre Spanish pilgrimage. In the face of overwhelming odds, the Camino forces the group to defy their age and physical ability as they each come to terms with recent loss. Heart-breaking and inspirational, ‘Camino Skies’ is an uplifting story about everyday people doing the extraordinary.
