Биографическая драма стареющего кинорежиссера Мануэля де Оливейры, который вместе с тремя актерами путешествует по Португалии и вспоминает свою юность. Португалия — это одновременно и конец, и начало Европы, но герои приходят именно к концу, который угрожает вымирающей деревне. Это родина французского актера Альфонсо. «Путешествие к началу мира» — это одновременно вояж к прошлому, настоящему и будущему, которые отражаются друг в друге. В конце повествования становится ясно, что режиссер и актеры готовятся к съемкам фильма, но это только верхний слой фильма-притчи.

"Все действие происходит в весьма условном сумасшедшем доме в Португалии: особняк в парке, отсутствие мед. персонала, респектабельная одежда обитателей - все это делает их похожими на посетителей светского приема, и ничто в очищенном от быта пространстве не отвлекает от отвлеченных разговоров, из которых фильм и состоит. Все обитатели страдают от религиозных галлюцинаций того или иного рода - даже циник, который вообще отрицает ценность любой религии. Одна пара разыгрывает историю Адама и Евы в Саду, а затем женщина, которая изображала Еву, разыгрывает из себя Св. Терезу де Авила. Другая пара воображает себя персонажами романа Достоевского, а один мужчина заявляет, что в его распоряжении - пятое Евангелие. И у каждого есть своя точка зрения, которую он не смущается высказывать, защищая ее в дебатах с большой искренностью."

This odd film is a major representative of an even odder film genre: direct-to-celluloid opera. It was commissioned by the Portuguese master of style, director Manoel de Oliveira from composer João Paes. Musically, it ranges from 19th-century romanticism to popular, modernist and even "post-modernist" styles. In the initially tame story, a host-narrator tells the story of a wedding between the two lovebirds: Viscount d'Aveleda and the beautiful Marguerite. However, what happens in the bridal chamber is incredibly bizarre. The events after that are even stranger (the film out-does even Luis Buñuel in that department), and the wedding guests and family indulge in cannibalism, among other perversions.
