Overview

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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A lyrical coming-of-age story that captures the intensity and contradiction of being young, queer, and alive, beautiful and devastating in equal measure. The film holds its dark undercurrent gently, letting summer romance and self-discovery unfold against an ominous backdrop.
