François Ozon’s follow-up to the Berlinale Grand Jury Prize-winner Grâce à Dieu / By the Grace of God is a broken love story set in Normandy. When young Alexis is caught up in the deceitful Normandy sea, David heroically saves him from drowning. And, this is how Alexis meets the person of his life. But, how long will this tumultuous, dreamy love last, longer than the summer of 85? Shot on Super 16 film like Ozon’s earlier shorts, Summer of 85 bears the Cannes 2020 label, and competed at San Sebastian Film Festival. The film is adapted partly from Aidan Chambers’ novel Dance on My Grave.
