Constantino. Traveling back to my roots in Syria

On a trip to Syria, director Otavio Cury finds a book written by his great-grandfather, a pioneer of the Arab theatre. 

Translating the book into Portuguese is the first step of a journey where past and present, East and West, the filmmaker and the Other merge into an amalgam.
