Summer of 85 (French: Été 85) is a 2020 French-Belgian drama film written and directed by François Ozon, partly based upon the 1982 novel Dance on My Grave by Aidan Chambers. It stars Félix Lefebvre, Benjamin Voisin, Philippine Velge, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Melvil Poupaud, and Isabelle Nanty.

While boating, Alexis's boat capsizes and almost drowns before being rescued by David, who ultimately ends up as the friend of his dreams. (source: wikipedia)

 

This is such an amazing movie. Its aesthetically pleasing, amazing and tragic at the same time. The actors are good. I highly recommend it.
