Synopsis
Pamplona, June 2001. Eleven-year-old Camino is living out the last moments of her short life in a hospital room. Surrounded by relatives, friends, priests and an uncommonly large number of medical personnel, she seems almost ethereal as she slips peacefully away. What came before this? Just a few months ago, Camino was an ordinary girl enjoying childish games and dreams with her friend Begoña in Madrid. That is, until she was first struck by love – a hitherto unknown feeling – at about the same time the first signs of her serious illness set in. While her father, JosĂ©, takes the situation very badly, her mother, Gloria, a religious fanatic in the draw of Opus Dei, sees Camino’s pain and suffering as confirmation that her daughter has been 'chosen'.
