CAMINO
by Javier Fesser Spain 2008 35 mm 143 min. OV Engl. ST
Inspired by real events, CAMINO is the emotional adventure of an extraordinary eleven-year-old who is faced simultaneously with two completely new situations in her life: falling in love and dying. Above all else, CAMINO is a radiant light shining through all gloomy obstacles on her path, denying every attempt to shroud in darkness her desire to live, to love and to feel the full depth of her happiness.
A fascinating as well as spellbinding film, marvelously mastering the tightrope ride between happiness and suffering and leaving an animated audience after very short 140 minutes.
"For me, CAMINO is a story packed with life, which in turn serves as an overwhelming argument in the struggle against sorrow." (Javier Fesser)
