THANKS @matandaudrey for calling this movie to my attention!! This is a drama directed, produced, and written by Emilio Estevez and starring his father, Martin Sheen (and a few others). Estevez had written the main character's role specifically for his father. Martin Sheen's character, Dr. Thomas Avery, an American ophthalmologist, walks the Camino de Santiago (a traditional pilgrimage route in France and Spain) a bit spur of the moment... Interesting story. I liked the music choices. This movie reminded me a bit of the movie, "Wild" (2014), only a different trail/people/circumstances, etc.
I noticed other films regarding the Camino de Santiago that I have not yet seen: "Life in a Walk" (2015), "A Way to Forgiveness" (2016), "Camino" (2019), and other films/docs/clips on YouTube as well.

"Inspired me to plan a trip to Spain with my sister. We’re going to walk 125 miles next spring!"
