Directed by Ricardo Trogi
Produced by GO Films
A warm, playful coming-of-age comedy set in 1980s Quebec that balances youthful ambition and misadventure with genuine affection for its teenage protagonist and his friendships.
In 1987, Ricardo is seventeen years old. This summer, Ricardo has a busy schedule: lose his virginity, find a way to get into bars, get a car and spend time with his friends. In order to make fast money, Ricardo decides to use his Italian connections to take a shortcut via the world of crime. But things don't go so smoothly.
