This documentary is a personal testimony of the different stages of the inner journey the main character is leading us through. All along the way, we listen, feel, and learn his proposal, whose foundations come from beliefs and customs of the native mexican people called Huichol. Other local characters, including the local parish priest, place these traditions in a wider context. Camino is not intended as an anthropological documentary, but rather a subjective testimony of a personal experience.
