Summer of 85

Whoever dies first, the other promises to dance on his grave.

A lyrical, introspective coming-of-age romance set in 1980s Normandy that explores teenage self-discovery, queer identity, and the bittersweet intensity of a formative summer friendship.

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.
