The Blue Trail is the latest film from visionary director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull), winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival.

Set in a near-future Brazil where the government relocates seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of economic “well-being,” this striking dystopian drama follows 77-year-old Tereza, who refuses to accept forced retirement. Determined to fulfill a lifelong dream of flying, she embarks on a clandestine journey through the Amazon, encountering unexpected companions who help her reclaim a sense of freedom.

Anchored by a powerful lead performance from Denise Weinberg and co-starring Rodrigo Santoro, the film unfolds as a lyrical, immersive odyssey about resilience, connection, and the courage to defy ageist and authoritarian constraints.
