This enigmatic narration suggests we're observing the spiritual quest of two recently deceased brothers, who find themselves "tired of being ghosts." They seek rebirth by traveling on foot, horseback and occasionally via wheelchair over northern Spain's famed pilgrim-path to the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela. They terminate their meanderings through bleakly scenic landscapes nearby at Cape Finisterre (Finisterrae in Latin) on the Atlantic Ocean's spectacularly wind-blown shores. – Hollywood Reporter
