By Adnan Tezer Oct 1, 2009, 19:24 GMT

Deborah Kara Unger and James Nesbitt have joined Martin Sheen in the Emilio Estevez-directed family drama "The Way."

The $5 million film, which is produced by Spain's Filmax Entertainment, is set along the thousand-year-old Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route.

The film follows the journey of Tom Avery, played by Sheen, a Californian ophthalmologist who travels to France to reclaim the body of his estranged son, who died in a storm in the Pyrenees, at one of the startpoints of the Camino de Santiago.

Avery cremates his remains, puts them in his son's backpack and starts off on his son's journey to Santiago.

Apart from Estevez, who also plays an acting role in the film, other actors added include Spain's Angela Molina ("Broken Embraces"), Simon Andreu ("The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian"), Eusebio Lazaro ("Pan's Labyrinth") and Carlos Leal ("Broken Embraces").

According to Variety, "The Way," which is Estevez's fourth feature as a writer-director, is produced by Filmax chairman Julio Fernandez, Estevez and Elixir Films' David Alexanian.

The film, which started shooting Sept. 28 in St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port, below the Route de Napoleon over the Pyrenees, is scheduled to wrap Nov. 13, after taking in numerous Camino landmarks such as Roncesvalles, Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos, Leon and Galicia.
