Martin Sheen's new but not very advertised movie "The way" is more of an independent movie. It revolves around 4 characters who join the pilgrimage to Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela for their own various reasons under the folklore that said pilgrimage help spiritual salvation.
Martin sheen is carrying the burden and ashes of his dead son. He is first joined by a dutch man who loves food but fighting his over weight as his wife stopped sleeping with him. Later they found an angry Canadian woman who is a victim of domestic violence and is trying to give up the addiction of smoking but actually she is inside carrying the guilt of an abortion. Lastly, on the way they found an Irish writer who is suffering from writers' block but in actuality he hates his commercial job of writing for a travelers' magazine.
As the movie evolves, pilgrimage progresses and their interaction takes intense turn and as they fight their psychological issues and try to find meaning in their journey and life - realization comes to them that - It is not important to fight a particular thing in life. What makes it worthwhile is to share each other's burden and joy in life.
