15-year-old Mia is facing an overwhelming transformation which calls her entire existence into question.

Mia is a sensitive teen who’s been uprooted and forced to adapt to a new school midway through the year on account of her father’s career change. Not content to just ogle the cool clique from afar, she’s eager to win their favor and desperate for approval from peers who act twice her age. Heedless of consequence, Gianna (Zoë Pastelle Holthuizen) and her gal pals embrace all manner of extreme behavior. In the face of choking games, pill-popping and binge drinking, their smoking habits, shoplifting and twerking are tame by comparison. Mia too gets a rush from these and other forms of rebellion. Like most teens, she acts out against her parents, is keen on experimenting, and very curious about sexual exploration, all the more so because losing her virginity is sure to up her cool factor with the libidinous teenagers she looks up to.

“’Blue My Mind’ is frank, feminine and all-around fantastic” – Screen Anarchy

“A skin-deep film from a director of such sensual pleasure.” – Cineuropa

“The debut feature from actress Lisa Brühlmann brings a surreal spin to the coming of age story, and is an effective showcase for a striking cast of young performers.” – Screen International
