Blue is gone. It’s gone from the world, gone from the protagonist’s perception. Despite the fact that blue has been such an important, such a warm colour in the young woman’s life. It is not just blue that has been lost, it is also a great love that has been lost to an untimely death. The mourning process is accompanied by memories of growing up as a girl and woman, as a young queer person between the gaggle of adolescent cousins, discovering her own desires and meeting her great love. In »Blueprint«, Leonie Lorena Wyss uses bold language to tell this story in a very entertaining and rhythmic way.
