★★★
CAMINO SKIES tells the story of of six complete strangers from New Zealand and Australia as they embark on the 800-kilometre long historic pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
Aged between 50 and 72, they’re all on a personal and spiritual mission to overcome the heartbreak of loss and grief. Some are newbies but others have done the trek before and, as one remarks, “the Camino is part of healing.”
