Whereas the label of «pilgrim» is still mostly associated with devout persons leaving home for purely religious motives, young people taking to the road as «backpackers» are generally perceived as pleasure seeking globetrotters. Questioning these stereotypes, the filmmaker followed one young woman along the Way of St. James through France and Spain and another one through Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.
