The Way (2011)

Comfortable widower receives a call that his nothing-in-common son was killed during a storm in the French Pyrenees. Once in France to claim the body, he learns that his son was just a day into walking “The Camino” -- a 500-mile pilgrimage across Spain. The widower decides to walk it, scattering his son’s remains along the way.

This feels like a standard “sad curmudgeon softens despite himself” movie (see: Up), but I enjoyed it pretty well. I'd never heard of this particular pilgrimage and it seems like something I could actually do -- Gary seems game to give it a go as well!
