Description:  Two drifters go on a pilgrimage from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Along the way, they hitchhike, beg for food, and face the Christian dogmas and heresies from different Ages. The Milky Way (La voie lactee) daringly deconstructs contemporary and traditional views on Catholicism with ribald, rambunctious surreality. Two French beggars, present-day pilgrims en route to Spain's holy city of Santiago de Compostela, serve as BuÐuel's narrators for an anticlerical history of heresy, told with absurdity and filled with images that rank among BuÐuel's most memorable (stigmatic children, crucified nuns) and hilarious (Jesus considering a good shave).
