The Blue Trail
Synopsis
The near future. Having lived her 77 years in a small Brazilian town, Tereza (Denise Weinberg) receives a government order to relocate to a senior’s housing colony – a place from which no one has ever returned. But before agreeing, Tereza decides to fulfil a long-held dream to fly on a plane. Unable to buy a ticket but undeterred, she hitches a boat ride with skipper Cadu (Rodrigo Santoro, Love Actually), who introduces Tereza to the psychedelic use of a rare blue snail. Her journey through the Amazon’s rivers and tributaries becomes a mind- and destiny-altering one. With its stunning imagery, Mascaro’s unforgettable, anti-authoritarian fable is filled with surprises, delight and magic.
