77-year-old Tereza escapes an ageist society to embark on a fantastical Amazonian journey that brings laughter and warmth in the face of adversity.
In near future Brazil, elderly citizens are scooped into remote enclaves where they will not be a burden to the state or their children. Having reached the fateful age, Tereza dreams of flying in a plane. Pursuing her ambition, she finds herself on an illegal journey through the Amazon. There she will find something even better than flight: independence. Political and unsentimental yet profoundly human, this is a memorable boat movie.
