SAMUEL VAN GRINSVEN’S wonderfully arresting debut feature is an affecting, queer, teenage coming-of-age story all rolled into one.
Set in Australia, the film is a frank and uncompromising examination of sex and social media today — as seen through the eyes of 16-year-old Sequin (Conor Leach) as he explores his blossoming sexuality through anonymous, no-strings sexual encounters via an app.
His modus operandi is to never to see the same person twice, ghosting them after their hook up.
That is, until he discovers The Blue Room, a strictly no-names sex party where he meets a captivating stranger (Samuel Barrie) with whom he becomes obsessed — determined to track him down in the real world.
