Description

The time is 1250 AD in an isolated village at the foot of the Pyrenees. Old Basque folk traditions are on a collision course with the onslaught of Christianity. One night, Amika, a young woman on the brink of adulthood, is awoken by an angry mob hunting down 'heretics.' Amika witnesses her mother, an herbal healer, being dragged off and burned at the stake. Amika flees to the forest in terror. With the help of rescuers from both the old and the new traditions, she sets off upon a journey of self-discovery along the Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage route across northern Spain. Along the way Amika encounters danger, hardship, and fear before she meets the man and child with whom she will share her future.
