Program Note
Set in Brazil in the near future, this dystopian road movie follows the journey of a woman resisting a state policy that seeks to exclude the elderly from society. On the verge of being transferred to a so-called ‘Senior Colony,’ 77-year-old Tereza makes a bold escape in search of freedom. Through her perilous journey to reclaim autonomy from institutional oppression, the film delicately explores the enduring values of freedom and dignity in old age. The 4:3 aspect ratio effectively captures Tereza’s constrained reality and inner world, while hallucinatory scenes involving a blue snail visualize her complex emotional landscape. Meanwhile, her bond with Roberta evokes a liberating spirit reminiscent of Thelma & Louise. Blending political and social metaphor with striking visual style, this is a beautiful and uplifting film of rebellion—one that contemplates the meaning of aging and life itself. (JO Ji-hoon)
