在美国一个山村里面,村民不相信医生,也不相信基督教,他们有他们自己的信仰——坑井。原来在很久之前,村子里面是有教堂的,但突然有一天,村民得了一种怪病,无法医治,当然连神父的祷告也没有用了。这是有一个陶瓷匠突然得到坑井的提示,在无意识中从坑井中取出泥土,经过加工作出人面陶罐。等他在村民面前展示陶罐,村民发现,这个陶罐上的样子,便正是神父的样子。村民各种办法都用尽了,最后只好相信陶瓷匠的说法,把神父祭献给坑井,用浸染了神父的血的坑水来沐浴,所有的人的病都得救了,于是这个村里面就有这样的传统,如若陶瓷匠得到神谕,会烧造人面陶罐,陶罐上是谁的脸,那人便要祭献给坑井,如若违反,必将陆续有人遭到坑井的报应。也不知过了多少年,陶瓷匠也换了人,现在担任这个职位的是个性憨直的达维Dawai(肖恩·布里吉斯 Sean Bridgers),有一天他得到神谕,无意识中做出了陶罐,却在烧铸好之后不见了,他也不知陶罐上的样子是谁的。原来是他的朋友少女艾达Ada(劳伦·阿什利·卡特 Lauren Ashley Carter )发现了陶罐,偷走了陶罐。因为陶罐上正是她的样子。正因为如此,报应不断地降临到村民身上。少女也发现,她怀孕了,孩子的父亲正是······

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
