Movie description:
In 1981, the Trogi family moves into a new home. At eleven year-old, Ricardo, doesn’t understand the meaning of the word »mortgage« but fully feels its impact. He is the new kid in a class where the other students are from wealthier backgrounds, and he feels his honour is at stake. To avoid being exposed, Ricardo resorts to inventing a new family history, which he must vigilantly maintain to keep up appearances for his new friends. Finally, when he can no longer ignore the reality of his family’s situation, young Ricardo must decide how to build on his true identity.
Quebec filmmaker Ricardo Trogi recalls his family’s move to a new neighborhood when he was eleven. A charming story that takes us back to the year 1981 when a young, chubby, and materialistic Ricardo Trogi lies to his classmates about his Playboy collection, gets a huge crush on a girl, and mulls about the mysteries of popularity ... sound familiar? A heartfelt coming of age tale with stand-out performances and unbeatable flashbacks to ’80s culture (remember Star Wars bed spreads, Sony walkmans, and calculator watches?).
