Voyage to the Beginning of the World

Directed by : Manoel De Oliveira

Marcello Mastroianni stars as an aging film director traveling to Portugal with a few members of his production staff to take his leading actor, Afonso (Jean-Yves Gautier), back to the town his family came from. As the group continues winding through ever-smaller villages, Manoel remembers stories from his painful life soon to be over. When the travelers finally meet Afonso's aunt, the old ways clash with the new as Afonso tries to convince his aunt who he is and what he has become.
