CAMINO

I remember when I saw a film called Camino. It was a Spanish made movie. It was about a girl, a very beautiful girl who was very ill. She had a cancer. Her mother was very religious; she was always saying that God would save her daughter from the disease. The time passed and the girl was getting worse. Doctors operated on but she wasn't better. So, her mother decided not to do anything because if there was any solution, it was a God's miracle.
The only person who took really care of the girl was her father. He had to work outside to earn money for his family, so he could never be in hospital with her. Anyway, one day, he bought some cakes in a bakery, and took some letters to her daughter from a boy who was in love with her. He thought that the girl would be very happy to read them.
Suddenly, while her father was driving to the hospital, a big lorry hit the car and he died in that accident. This was the most impressive scene in the film for me, because I started to cry. It was very sad to see how the girl was dying without saying goodbye to her father and without reading those letters.
