The Flamingo

Adam Sekuler (United States, 2024) - 78 min.

In her late sixties, Mary Phillips boldly seeks pleasure, attending dungeon parties and engaging in intimacy with strangers through her BDSM practice. The Flamingo is more than just a coming-out story; it’s a deep dive into Mary’s world, where she offers healing touch and guidance to others, challenges society’s notions of aging and female sexuality, and explores the complexities of intimacy and self-embodiment. Over glasses of pink lemonade, by the bonfire, and in the most vulnerable moments, Mary’s joie de vivre and compassion shine through, even as she navigates the uncertainties of finding love on her terms. Shot in an observational style, this documentary ultimately offers a new way of seeing, processing, and understanding the experience of aging with pleasure.
