Summer of 85 (2020)

Été 85

Plot: In long flashbacks, cute gay Normandy seaside resort schoolboy Alexis 'Alex' Robin (16) tells how he got arrested in 1985 for grave violation. Getting in trouble at sea sailing mate Chris's boat alone, he was rescued by handsome elder David Gorman (18), immediately made friends and soon became intimate, while David's widowed mother eagerly hired him in their beach shop, while they secretly make love. But David, who insisted on a morbid-romantic 'pact' the surviving mate must dance o the first-died's grave, constantly seeks new experiences, while Alex gets jealous and possessive, feeling cheated when David openly flirts with English girl Kate. A row and motorbike chase see David crash fatally, crushing Alexi's and his mother's hearts. Literature teacher Lefèvre gets Alexis, who gets arrested for keeping the pact after a morgue incident, to write his trauma down, being gifted for essays, so the social worker can build a defense in court

Alternative Plot: When Alexis capsizes off the coast of France, David comes to the rescue and opens his eyes to a new horizon of friendship, art and sexual bliss.
