Summer of 85 (DVD)

In the summer of 1985 in Normandy, Alexis, a 16-year-old who is fascinated by death, takes a friend's sailing dinghy out to sea. A sudden thunderstorm causes his boat to capsize, and he is rescued by David Gorman who is a couple of years older. The pair go to David's house, where Alexis meets his overpowering but caring, single mother, and learns that David is obliged to work at the family fishing equipment shop following his father's death. Alexis also adopts the name Alex, after David's mother mishears his name. Alex has a tumultuous relationship with his working-class parents, with his father insisting that he drop out of school to work, while Alex himself is passionate about writing. After an argument with his father, Alex starts to work part-time at the Gorman's shop while contemplating his future. Alex and David's friendship deepens and David's mother adores Alex.

Alex begins to grow suspicious of David after he rescues a drunk man from the middle of the street. The two have an argument as Alex believes David had sex with him, due to him returning to his house at 4 in the morning. David and Alex begin a romantic and sexual relationship over the course of six weeks, which Alex describes as the happiest time of his life. They spend their time sailing, going out on David's motorcycle, watching movies, and going to a local fairground.
