Summer of 85
“Whoever dies first, the other promises to dance on his grave.”
What do you dream of when you're 16-years-old and in a seaside resort in Normandy in the 1980s? A best friend? A lifelong teen pact? Scooting off on adventures on a boat or a motorbike? Living life at breakneck speed? No. You dream of death. Because you can't get a bigger kick than dying. And that's why you save it till the very end. The summer holidays are just beginning, and this story recounts how Alexis grew into himself.
This film pulses with the intoxicating, bittersweet rush of a first, all-consuming summer love. It's a sun-drenched, melancholic dive into youthful intensity and self-discovery, where every moment feels both exhilarating and fleeting. The 80s seaside setting adds a nostalgic, dreamlike quality to its emotional depths.
