Short description

Two men, part tramp, part pilgrim, are on their way from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. On their way, they meet a vast assortment of characters—some truculent, some violent, and some bizarre; they experience many adventures—some mysterious, some erotic, some even supernatural.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Luis Buñuel (1900-1983) himself played the role of the Pope shot by revolutionaries.
  • The stories told in the film actually happened in real life. While preparing for filming, director Luis Buñuel (1900-1983) and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière processed a large amount of material.
  • At the beginning of the film, the characters stand on the side of the highway, and a shadow of the microphone on a tripod can be seen moving across the screen from right to left.
