The plot is inspired by (and dedicated to) the real story of Alexia González-Barros, a girl who died from spinal cancer at age 14 in 1985 and who is in process of canonization. [1] The girl's family (related to the Opus Dei) did not agree with the film and so controversy mired the film since the very beginning, and arguably only served to increase interest in the film.

About this product

Product Information

Camino is a beautiful and bubbly thirteen-year-old whose life is controlled by her mother's devotion to the Opus Dei sect. Camino wants only to join the local theatre group with her best friend's cute cousin and star as Cinderella in the end-of-year production. But when Camino experiences searing pains in her back and is diagnosed with a rare cancer of the spine, her life changes in terrible and unexpected ways... Her mother becomes obsessed with the possibility of Camino being canonised and urges her to silently offer her pain to God. Her sister, virtually imprisoned in an Opus Dei center, appears disinterested in Camino's suffering, and their father, wracked with sorrow over the loss of his youngest daughter, is powerless to stop his devout wife. As Camino's illness worsens, she finds solace in her active imagination, into which she retreats to live out her innocent fantasies of romance, stardom and happiness.
