77-year-old Tereza is suddenly ordered to leave her home and move to a so-called 'senior colony', a place where the elderly are supposed to 'enjoy' their final years. Maar Tereza refuses to accept this inhumane measure. She decides to pursue her life's dream first, and that unleashes an unforgettable adventure full of sensuality and zest for life in the heart of the Braziliaanse Amazone. That explosion of vitality is captured by Brazilian filmmaker Gabriel Mascaro in a sparkling film full of light and nerve. In Berlijn earned him the Zilveren Beer and unanimously glowing reviews from the international press.
