1981

It's 1981 Quebec. Ricardo Trogi is an 11 year old new kid at school. His Italian father survived the Nazis as a kid. His immigrant name is made fun of. The other kids seem to be more well off. He can't do longhand but he lies to his teacher. He falls for the pretty and smart Anne Tremblay but he's not on her radar. He tells the popular kids another lie.

I love all the little things about being a kid in the 80s. I love the embarrassing self-inflicted delusions that reminds me of 'Freaks and Geeks'. He's a little kid struggling to figure it out. It's nowhere near as funny. The comedy doesn't quite hit. Ricardo is simply not likable. Everything else is set up for a great nostalgic time.
