BACK
In this dystopian drama, Tereza, a septuagenarian, refuses being sent to a senior housing colony, embarking instead on a journey through the Amazon to realize one last wish before losing her freedom.

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. Tereza refuses to accept this imposed fate. Instead, she sets out on a transformative journey through the rivers and tributaries of the Amazon to fulfil one last wish before her freedom is taken away - a decision that will change her destiny forever.

"The film talks about not only the aging body but also displacement and the forced removal of communities. It is very timely in that sense but is also done in a very allegorical manner, talking about modern issues without pandering to an idealized 'Brazilianness.' This is a film that wants to be in conversation with the world." (Gabriel Mascaro)
