Sinopsis / Synopsis

Entradas y salidas, día y noche, alegría y dolor, amigos y extraños: esos son los contrastes en el "Camino de Santiago". El "albergue" - un albergue que sirve como refugio y lugar de comunión, se convierte en un hogar lejos del hogar. Ritos y rituales diarios. Marcado por el paso del tiempo y los peregrinos, el "albergue" recoge sus vestigios y, a partir de él, construye su propia historia.

The “albergue” - a hostel that serves as retreat and place of communion, becomes a home away from home. Daily rites and rituals. Marked by the passage of time and pilgrims, the “albergue” collects their vestiges and, from it, builds its own story.

The film BOM CAMINHO was made as part of the 1st year of a MFA in Documentary Filmmaking the director is holding at the ESMAD school (P.Porto) in Portugal. This film is about the first Portuguese public "albergue" on the "Caminho de Santiago" on the Portuguese way. It holds a different perspective of the "caminho". The film talks about this pilgrimage way without being in the "caminho", it stays the whole time in the "albergue", watching its flow, people arriving and leaving every day.
