Supported by Cannes Film Festival 2020 Label:
“A story of friendship and love, or perhaps the opposite, between two boys in the mid-eighties at a seaside resort in Normandy. A dark, brooding tale of passion. Ozon plays around with genres in a film that upholds his inimitable style, in which staging is everything. The original soundtrack sees Bananarama and The Cure make their comeback.”
