The film talks about the consequences of the journey that Aline Motta undertook in search of her roots and questions the sense of belonging to a place that might not acknowledge its seemingly evident kinship. It brings together Lagos in Nigeria, Cachoeira in Bahia, and the artist’s home town Rio de Janeiro in Brazil through the waters and bridges that connect the three cities and their common ancestral background.

Creating new verses for a well-known Portuguese rhyme, the piece reaches out from one end of the Atlantic to the other, bridging Brazil and the African continent, both metaphorically and spiritually, as the artist’s own family pictures flow in and out of the water.

Paulo Coelho is the world’s most translated living author, his books having sold over 165 million copies. But he was not always the inspirational global phenomenon he is today. Like the heroes in his spiritual classics THE ALCHEMIST and THE PILGRIMAGE, he long-searched for his calling, flirting with death, escaping madness, falling in love, and making rock ’n’ roll history in Brazil, all-the-while striving for success as a writer. A wild ride through a lifetime of stranger-than-fiction adventures, PAULO COELHO’S BEST STORY is a profoundly moving film that goes straight to the heart of the most beloved literary guru of our time, revealing the most incredible wonder of all: the man behind the masterpieces.
