THE BLUE TRAIL / O ÚLTIMO AZUL
A film by Gabriel Mascaro
(Brazil/Mexico/Netherlands/Chile, 2025, 85 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles)

Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival, the latest film from visionary director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull) is a striking dystopian drama set in near‑future Brazil, where the government relocates seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of economic “well‑being.” Seventy‑seven‑year‑old Tereza refuses to accept forced retirement and the loss of her autonomy. Determined to fulfill a lifelong dream of flying, she embarks on a clandestine river journey through the Amazon, encountering unexpected companions who help her reclaim freedom and possibility.

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