Interview by Paul Salfen
As a nurse practitioner in an emergency room, Monica (Erin Cahill) has given her all to her job and prides herself on her track record of not going on vacation. Monica’s new boss has a different perspective on the situation and encourages her to take some time away as it will help invigorate her. At her mother’s urging, Monica heads to Spain to join a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, just as her parents had done many years ago. Equipped with the final gift she received from her late father – a devotional featuring scripture passages and daily prompts to help guide her and clear her mind – Monica begins to appreciate the slower, more deliberate pace of the Camino. She forges relationships with her fellow pilgrims including Luis (Eric Valdez), a divorced father traveling with his teen son and his father. As their Camino progresses, Monica finds herself on a journey to self-discovery that ultimately brings her closer to God and helps her realize what she really wants in life. And as Monica reaches the emotional end point of this trek, she learns something surprising about her parents’ own pilgrimage that will have a lasting effect on her as she steps into her post-Camino life.
