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 sun-drenched coming-of-age tale subverts nostalgic summer tropes by centering on a reckless, shared obsession with mortality. Instead of sweet teenage romance, the film captures the jagged, frantic edge of youth through a lens of beautiful destruction.
