Cláudio da Silva, Cassiano Carneiro, Pedro Inês, Jani Zhao, Catarina Wallenstein, Rui Morrison, Luís Lima Barreto. Originally released as a motion picture in 2017. Based on the travel writings of Fernão Mendes Pinto.
Summary:
A remarkable imagining of the historic voyages of 16th-century explorer and writer Fernão Mendes Pinto, one of the first Europeans to sail to and travel the Orient--India, Japan, and places in between. Choral renditions of Portuguese singer-songwriter Fausto's progressive 80's pop album Por Este Rio Acima adds a lush inspiration to what, in many ways, is a brutally honest period drama; or is it? Pinto's controversial memoirs emerge onscreen with a sweeping audacity.
