The Blue Trail
O Último Azul

To maximise economic productivity, the government orders the elderly to relocate to distant housing colonies but 77-year-old Tereza refuses, resisting the order and instead embarking on a journey by boat through the Amazon that will change her destiny forever.

THE BLUE TRAIL is a fantasy-led drama about the right to dream and deciding your fate for yourself.

Featuring an older female protagonist, Tereza 77, has lived her whole life in a small, industrialised 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 without the burden of an ageing population.

Tereza however decides not to accept the fate that someone else has traced for her and instead embarks on a journey by boat down the Amazon. An ode to freedom and adventure at any age, THE BLUE TRAIL signals it is never too late to find new meaning in life.

THE BLUE TRAIL unfolds as a road movie by boat, taking us on a magical adventure along the banks of the Amazon.

THE BLUE TRAIL is a film about the right to dream, featuring an older protagonist who decides not to accept the fate that someone else traced for her. I wanted to make a film that serves as an ode to freedom, signalling it is never too late to find new meaning in life.
