Synopsis: For Mounir, storytelling is a survival strategy. Mounir, a Central African refugee full of dreams and mysteries, wants to make a film about himself. Conceited, multilingual, and an excellent storyteller, his extensive biography seems like fiction. In São Paulo, he convinces Juliana, a young documentary filmmaker, to help him with this endeavor. Intrigued by his outrageous stories, Juliana spends 10 years filming Mounir’s life across three continents.
