The Blue Trail

Gabriel Mascaro’s transfixing adventure about a pensioner fleeing a dystopian ageist society and winner of Berlin’s Silver Bear award.

In near future Brazil, elderly citizens must transfer their assets to their children before being rounded up and forced into government-run retirement camps. Having reached the mandated age, Tereza (Denise Weinberg) is desperate to keep her freedom, so she escapes and embarks on an illegal journey through the Amazon.

Political and unsentimental yet profoundly human, The Blue Trail is a fantastical and freewheeling Amazonian journey and an adventure you won’t easily forget.
