It’s the summer of 1987 and 17 year old Ricardo’s to-do list is as follows: hang out with his mates, get into bars, find a car, open a nightclub and lose his virginity. Unable to hold down a job, Ricardo adds  “becoming a small-time crook”, which is when his summer plans begin to go awry…  Set to an excellent 80s soundtrack and tackling all of the hilariously awkward moments that come with being a teenager but wanting to be treated like an adult, 1987 is a light-hearted comedy  that refuses to take itself too seriously.
