Gabriel Mascaro's (AUGUST WINDS, CIFF 2015) THE BLUE TRAIL unfolds as a road movie by boat, taking us on a magical adventure and bringing to life one of the most unique stories featuring an older protagonist.

Tereza has lived her whole life in a small, industrialized town in the Amazon. Suddenly, she receives an official government order to relocate to a senior housing colony, an isolated area where the elderly are brought to "enjoy" their final years. Tereza refuses to accept this imposed fate, a decision that will change her destiny forever. She embarks on a transformative journey through the Amazonian rivers and tributaries to fulfill one last wish before her freedom is taken away.
