The Blue Trail

In a not-so-distant dystopian future in which the government sends seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of “boosting the economy,” seventy-seven-year-old Tereza (Denise Weinberg) decides her story is far from over. Refusing to surrender her dreams of independence, Tereza instead embarks on a journey of hope through the Amazon, determined to realize desires that she is not yet ready to abandon. Making her way, she rediscovers longings and miracles that age refuses to erase - including freedom, companionship, and the simple joy and ultimate adventure of going wherever the river takes her. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2025 Berlin International Film Festival, the latest from visionary Brazilian director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull) is an inspiring and intoxicating reminder that it’s never too late to take flight. In Portuguese with English subtitles. (85 minutes)

“A gorgeous aquatic road movie. What makes it such a delight is that it’s filled with hope and faith in human resilience at any age.” -David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
