Synopsis
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 Cristianos house to pick up clothes and documents, Andre stumbles on a notebook, and its here that Araby begins or, rather, transforms. As Andre reads from the journal entries, we are plunged into Cristianos life, into stories of his wanderings, adventures, and loves. Beautifully written and photographed, Araby is a fable-like road movie about a young man who sets off on a ten-year journey in search of a better life. Cast
