THE BLUE TRAIL

Brazil, Mexico, Netherlands, Chile • 2025

In a not-so-distant dystopian future where the government sends seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of boosting the economy, 77-year-old Tereza (Denise Weinberg) decides her story is far from over. Refusing to surrender her independence, she embarks on a journey to pursue the dreams she is not yet ready to abandon. Along the way, she discovers freedom, companionship, and the joys of going wherever the river takes her. Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, the latest from director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull, Divine Love) is an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to take flight.

"What unexpectedly turns out to be the greatest South American houseboat movie since 'Fitzcarraldo.'"

Peter Debruge
Variety
"It’s a movie filled with hope and faith in human resilience at any age."

David Rooney
Hollywood Reporter
"'The Blue Trail' is entrancingly unpredictable in its picaresque unravelling, tinged with magical realist touches."
