Paulo Coelho's Best Story
Before The Alchemist Became a Phenomenon, One Man's Journey Became a Legend.
Directed by Daniel Augusto
Produced by Damasco Filmes, Babel Films S.L.
A biographical journey through Paulo Coelho's transformative life, tracing his spiritual and creative awakening from chaos to literary enlightenment.
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.
