Of Franco-Peruvian origin through his mother, Santiago, 7 years old, must accomplish a rite of passage to become a little man. He decides to walk to Compostela. Céline, his mother, a photographer, will accompany him on this extraordinary adventure.

This book retraces this initiatory journey. In Santiago's footsteps, page after page, at the rhythm of this 1200-kilometer spiritual walk, the images unfold and the words spring forth. Dialogues, reflections. Like breaths.

With great emotion, Santiago takes us on this formidable journey to Compostela, which began on June 22, 2014. Through games, unforgettable encounters, laughter, tears, a spiritual experience, and a journey through space and time, Santiago discovers himself, while also discovering life and the world.

The journey of a little man: a universal testimony.
