Blue Queen

Neo-noir Crime Thriller · 2017

A legendary diamond, a heist gone wrong, and four conflicting stories about what really happened.

All of them true. None of them the whole truth.

Synopsis

A robbery is only the beginning. At the center of it lies the Blue Queen, one of the world’s most famous and most expensive diamonds, and around it four characters, each convinced they deserve it more than the others.

The story unfolds through four versions of the same events, one for each member of the team behind the heist. With every shift in perspective, details that seemed settled change their meaning: alliances dissolve, motives invert, and Yannis, the man who set the plan in motion, slowly turns from perpetrator into the perfect victim. Nothing is missing from the story; it is all there from the start, waiting to be seen from the right angle.

Trust no one, not even your own eyes.
