Original subtitles

[orchestral music]

[girl in German] When you arrive in Galicia, don be fooled.

Regardless of what it looks like.

Because here...

it always ends up raining.

Always.

Don be misled by sudden changes.

The same way the rain goes away it comes back.

For the Camino, be sure to use rainproof footwear.

You’re going to need it.

That’s the bottom line in the Camino.

I’ll say it again and again.

Always remember.

Appropriate footwear.

BERLIN, SQUATTER HOUSE JANUARY 2000 / TWO MONTHS AGO

[punk music]

[people screaming]

[in German] That’s what you all are! Don look at me like that, bitch!

Fuck the police!

[in German] All of Berlin hates the police!

[girl] There’s as many definitions of the Camino as there are pilgrims.

Everyone sees and feels it in their own way.

The Camino is a journey, an inner journey

to Santiago de Compostela.

For many it is a timeless place, under the silent rule of fate.

[piano music]

You have to do the Camino for me.

[girl] Many pilgrims talk about people they have met,

who seemed to have been waiting for their encounter there.

Excuse me!

Excuse me, Leni!

Leni.

Do we know each other?

No, no. But your name is on your backpack.

Could you take a picture of us?

Sure.

Thanks.

[camera sounds]

There you go.

[Luca] Thank you.

[Luca] Oh!

That’s nothing.

That’s bad. Do we have bandages?

I’m calling you from a landline. Now, right now!

I have the payment order.

Father...

Focus and come back. Isn't that a future for you?

Yes, sir.

It's a great position, I fought to get it for you.

Don't make me look bad.

Where?

It’s an executive position.

Yes.

I told them you’ll be back as soon as you finish the Camino.

You have to honour my word.

Do you need help?

[man screaming in Korean through the phone]

Telecom Navarra is sorry for interrupting your call

due to technical reasons. Thank you for your understanding.

You’re welcome.

Thank you.

Hey!

Let’s do a conga line.

I pay this round...

Luca from Genova.

Like pasta with pesto.

Jana, from a country where drinking alone is not forbidden.

Maybe, but that’s against the law of the Camino.

So what do you say?

Fine!

First man down pays.

I don like to drink for free.

[both shouting] Another one!

[Jana laughs]

[people cheering]

Ana!

I’m Luca!

[all cheering]

Do you need help?

I’m fine, thank you.

Oh, great.

[two people laughing]

[birds singing]

Good morning.

[bells sound]

[harp music]

[hearing people shouting in his head]

There’s a call for you.

-On the landline. -Huh?

They’ve called several times already.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yes?

For Christ’s sake, mom.

For Christ’s and the Virgin’s sake, don yell at me.

What?

Jay? What’s up with Jay?

Oh, right.

My phone broke down yesterday.

Tell him, would you?

Which cake?

Well, the one with the most chocolate, of course.

Why would dad come pick me up?

I’m walking the Camino!

Okay, I’ll call you as soon as I wake up.

Yes, I’ve slept, yeah.

Love you! Okay, bye.

[piano music]

[sighs]

[girl] Hi.

Hi.

So you couldn get out of bed either?

Damned.

Thanks for yesterday.

[man] You’re welcome.

What was your name again?

-Yoon Soo. -Yoon Soo?

[Mendelssohn's Wedding March playing]

[girl] What?

Why don you play the other one again?

[piano music]

[in French] Too much sun.

[in French] Thank you.

[in French] Much better now.

RAQUEL I MISS YOU ALREADY. LOVE YOU. JUAN LUIS.

[birds singing]

Hi.

Hey...

How do you say cheater in German?

Now for real, I think you should let people

who deserve it go first, don you think?

[dog barking]

Good morning.

Here you go, stamped. Good morning!

What?

[man] Here you go.

[man] Good journey, pilgrim.

-Have a nice day, thank you. -Thank you.

[in German] And then you said...

Dying your hair black? Do you still have the picture?

Do you have the picture?

The picture when mom died.

Do you have it?

I’d like to see it. You said she looked beautiful.

I came here for you, Leni,

and you won even answer my telegrams...

Fuck, is it hot!

I don want to be here.

[dog barking]

[sheep bleating]

Hi?

Hi, I need help. I’m...

[man] Are you alright?

[man] Listen.

Hi.

[in German] I’ve got to go back to the Camino.

No! Wait, wait. Wait.

If you go out, you fall again.

[in German]I’ve got to go back to the Camino.

No, wait. The Camino is so far.

Two sheep are just born and look at me.

Wait.

[sheep bleating]

[man] Look.

They are smarter than us.

She’s trembling.

Perhaps she knows what’s gonna happen to her.

Are you gonna kill her?

No!

No, this sheep is only for the wool, you know?

But, this one and her sister are going to be separated.

And she doesn like it.

Why?

Because when two are born, one is for the owner of the flock

and the other is for the shepherd.

And that’s me, the shepherd.

That’s the way it is.

BERLIN. ONCOLOGICAL HOSPITAL.

[piano music]

[in German] Hi.

Thank you.

They’re beautiful.

You must walk the Camino for me.

[in German] No.

I must stay here with you.

You can help me here. Do you understand?

Please.

[piano music]

[bells sound]

I do.

[slamming the door]

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I’m looking for the priest.

-The priest? -Yeah.

What for?

That.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

[Yoon Soo humming a song]

Can you hear it?

[organ music]

-Thank you. -That's wonderful!

[metal music in her earphones]

[music in her earphones stops]

[organ music]

[sings in German]

[Raquel] I love it! Where did you buy it?

[Yoon Soo] In Korea.

-Really? -Yeah.

[Yoon Soo] Do you want to listen to a Korean song?

[Raquel doubts] Yeah!

[Yoon Soo] Can you sing...?

[sings in Korean]

No.

Try it.

You sing when I tell you.

Okay.

[Yoon Soo humming]

[Raquel mumbles the song]

[sings in Korean]

[both laugh]

[wind blows]

[girl] Good journey!

[Luca] Good journey!

Good journey!

You are...

The Italian!

My girlfriend, Agnes.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. What’s your name?

My name is Roberto.

[Roberto] Okay.

[Roberto] Look at that.

It’s beautiful.

-Yeah. -[Luca] Fuck.

[piano music]

[crickets chirping]

[piano music]

Good evening.

The Milky Way.

You see it?

They say the trails of el Camino can be found on it.

Yeah.

You know, this journey is more than just a collection of stamps.

Do you like me?

Do you care?

No.

I don really care what you think of me.

I like who I am.

And who exactly are you, Leni?

Leni is not my name, you know?

Leni is not your name?

So, you are lying about your name too?

Wow.

You’re a professional cheater.

Fuck you.

Hey.

Don take it like that.

Don walk away!

Come on! We are talking!

Okay.

Have a good night.

[girl laughing]

[pouring a drink]

What’s up?

Hey!

What’s up?

Bro...

Hi.

[Raquel] Hi.

Agnes?

Agnes.

I don know.

[someone laughing]

Agnes.

[Raquel] Do you like it?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here? Where are you going?

No! No, Luca, no.

[in Italian] Agnes, wait a second. Agnes!

She saw you, man.

You just give me one beautiful thing and I will destroy it.

[priest] May the Lord lead your steps with his blessing.

March in the name of Christ, who is the way,

pray for us in Compostela.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I bless you.

Thank you, father.

Thanks.

[Yoon Soo] Let’s go.

[birds singing]

[Raquel] And it’s like: mom, if I get five days

before the wedding it’s enough!

And she says: no, no, it’s not enough

and Jay is very distressed.

And I know Jay.

He’s not that kind of person, you know?

José?

Yeah, my boyfriend.

But my mom is...

I know my mom.

She’s talking to him every day and he’s getting very worried.

Well, anyway, I don want to bother you.

No, it’s okay.

[Yoon Soo] Everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

[Yoon Soo] One second.

[Yoon Soo]What’s going on?

She left me a ticket to fly back home, but from Santiago.

So, I’ve got to get there.

Do you have enough money to get there?

[Yoon Soo] I can lend you some, if you need.

[Raquel] Me too. I can lend you some.

No, no. It’s fine.

-[Yoon Soo] Okay. -[Raquel] You sure?

[Luca] Yeah. But if you give me the money, give me your address.

[Luca] So, I can pay you back as soon as we get home.

-[Yoon Soo] Don worry about it. -[Luca] No, I insist.

[Luca] If not, I don take the money.

Oh my God, It’s beautiful! Did you draw this?

No.

My sister did.

What do you do?

My passions are ships...

And women, and...

No, yeah! Look at this.

Berenice. Thirty meters long.

Three engines.

One thousand...

[Raquel] Well, I really loved the one you did for your sister.

Yeah, so cute.

You know, Leni doesn want me to call her.

She thinks that it will bring bad luck if I do.

Why?

Because she’s superstitious?

Really?

How?

I want to go home.

I think that I don belong here.

I miss her.

But Jana, that’s normal. It’s natural that we feel like this.

But it’s so beautiful what you are doing.

And I think she must be so proud of you.

So, let’s keep going.

Let’s keep going.

Yep.

[guitar music]

[crickets chirping]

[orchestral music]

Fuck! [in German] Fuck!

[tension music]

Help!

Hey!

Help!

Roberto!

Roberto, what’s going on?

Hey! -Hey!

There is a rope in my bag! Take it!

What?

Help me!

Give me your hand!

Help me!

Let go of the book!

No, I won!

[tension music]

[orchestral music]

[Roberto] Careful. It’s super-hot.

[Jana] Wow, that was...

[Jana] something, you know.

[Jana] Incredible.

[Jana laughs]

[Jana] Thank you.

[Roberto] You know...

I don get it, Jana.

I really don.

Why are you in such a hurry?

I mean, if it’s about getting there, why don you get a train?

Why are you putting your life at risk?

You guys have the goose-game in your country, right?

Okay.

Then you should know that you can go very fast.

But you only need one wrong move

and then you go back to where you started.

I don think this is for you, Jana.

I really don think so.

[piano music]

[birds singing]

[Jana] Wait!

[Raquel] Hey!

[Raquel] Jana!

Where are you going?

Stop! Please, can you...?

Can you open the door?

You’ve got a telegram.

It’s from your sister. She finally answered.

Thank you.

[piano music]

[Jana] When you arrive at the Cruz de Hierro,

you can feel the words that the pilgrims

have left on its stones.

The wind seems to whisper their thoughts,

which mingle with your own.

Many of the texts speak of friendship,

chance and encounter.

When you leave your mark, you can feel something much bigger

than yourself guiding you.
