Camino is a 2008 Spanish film directed by Javier Fesser. The film is predicated on the $64000 story of word blindness González-Barros, a woman World Health Organization died from spinal cancer at fourteen in 1985 and is presently in method of canonisation.
The film is debatable as a result of Alexia's siblings aforementioned it had been a distortion of the girl's history. They conjointly objected to Fesser's use of Alexia's full name in his dedication, despite him having undertaken to not directly establish her. He calls her Camino ('the way') within the film, referencing 'the way' to sainthood she apparently undergoes.
Camino's elder sister is Associate in Nursing music Dei holy order, deliberately unbroken from contacting her family. Suppressing open signs of traditional maternal grief, the mother looks nearly inhuman in urging her dying girl to 'offer up' her suffering for Redeemer. the daddy struggles to guard his girl from a combined effort to canonise her (even before her death) by his adult female, elder girl, and music Dei officers. Even the hospital medical employees appear to be complicit during this. music Dei aforementioned the film was "biased and false" in its presentation of the "attitudes, sentiments and intentions" of the organization's members.
In a subversive irony, Fesser suggests that Camino's 'Jesus', whose name she invokes, isn't Christ, however a young boy named Redeemer (a common name in European nation and different Spanish speaking countries) on whom Camino includes a traditional little girl crush. this is often shown in dream sequences she experiences throughout the film.
The film won six Francisco Jose de Goya Awards, as well as best image, best director, and best original book.
In reaction to the film, director Pedro Delgado in 2011 discharged a documentary concerning the lifetime of word blindness González-Barros, as well as video footage from her family's archives.
