About

Grand Jury Prize – Silver Bear, Berlinale 2025.

Tereza, 77, has lived her whole life in a small industrialized town in the Amazon, until one day she receives an official government order to relocate to a senior housing colony. The colony is an isolated area where the elderly are brought to « enjoy » their final years, freeing the younger generation to focus fully on productivity and growth. Tereza refuses to accept this imposed fate. Instead, she embarks on a transformative journey through the rivers and tributaries of the Amazon to fulfill one last wish before her freedom is taken away—a decision that will change her destiny forever.

This film is HIDDEN GEM carefully selected by our programming team:

"This dark, dystopian, and dreamlike Brazilian film finds its light in Tereza, an elderly woman who refuses to bend to the world’s expectations and continues living on her own terms. With its strikingly original soundtrack and style, THE BLUE TRAIL was a standout discovery for our programming team at TIFF50." — Cinema Cinema programming team
