Sequin in a Blue Room

Sexual obsessions spiral dangerously out of control in this altogether different coming-of-age tale.

16-year-old Sequin isn’t looking for love. Instead, he trawls through dating apps on the hunt for one-off, no-strings encounters with older men. But one night at an anonymous sex party, he meets a handsome young stranger with whom he becomes fixated. However, unbeknownst to Sequin, one of his previous conquests is harbouring a sinister obsession of his own.

Dripping in heady atmosphere and rich foreboding, Samuel Van Grinsven’s stylish debut feature is an uncompromising exploration of sex and technology in which nothing is quite what is seems.
