The Way, la route ensemble (or The Way – On the way to Compostela in Quebec ; The Way in the original version (English) and Spain; The way In Latin America) is an American-Spanish film directed by Emilio Estevez, released in theaters in Spain in 2010, in the United Kingdom and the USA in 2011, in France in 2013 and on DVD in 2012.

Thomas Avery (Martin Sheen), an American ophthalmologist, learns the death of his son Daniel (Emilio Estevez), in France, in the Pyrenees, while he walked on the pilgrimage path of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostela.

Tom goes to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to recognize and bring Daniel’s body back. But once there he decides, after having made the cremation of the body carried out, to transport the ashes himself to Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. He then started walking around 800 km , meeting other pilgrims, three of whom are particularly going to accompany him in this adventure. Each of them undertakes this pilgrimage with a particular motivation, hoping to find a solution to their problem in this long step.

Tom, first quite individualistic, will gradually get attached to his fellow travelers and thus understand what had been able to bring his son, with whom he had few contacts, to make this pilgrimage.
