Araby

Arábia

Andre, a teenager, lives in an industrial town in Brazil near an old aluminum factory. One day, a factory worker, Cristiano, suffers an accident. Asked to go to Cristiano's house to pick up clothes and documents, Andre stumbles on a notebook. It's here that Araby begins, or rather, transforms. As Andre reads from the journal entries, we are plunged into Cristiano's life, into stories of his wanderings, adventures and loves.

ARABY is a fable-like road movie about a young man who sets off on a twenty-year journey in search of a better life.

Winner of Best Film, Best Actor and Best Director at the SESC Film Festival.
