Synopsis

Spoiler shield

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.
