What movie did I see?

I saw a movie an indie movie a few years ago and I can only recall certain details. I'd like to know what the title is.
Here's what I remember:
2 main characters - a very gruff old man and a 20 something male immigrant with a very upbeat, friendly personality.
Somehow, a friendship developed between these characters. The younger guy's perpetual niceness won the old guy over.
I think the younger guy had a low-paying job and might have been going to school to learn a trade.
One of them lived in a really depressing motel room. Did they eventually live together?
One of them had some sort of spiritual need to travel to some sacred location, which I think was an overlook in the mountains. They both made the journey.
What movie is this? I think about it from time to time, but can't remember the title.

Response by poster: The Visitor is what I thought it was too. I was getting the two movies confused in my mind. It's not it, but the tone of the movie is similar to The Visitor.
