The series follows in the footsteps of three friends: Marc, Franky and his sister Vicky. Bursting with enthusiasm and ambition, the first two leave their rural village for Brussels in order to begin a career in the gendarmerie. But they unexpectedly find themselves joining a squad in crisis, at a time when the country is afflicted by a series of violent robberies. Vicky is studying law at VUB, which is situated opposite the gendarmerie’s headquarters. Her rebellious nature and progressive ideals clash with all that Franky and Marc hold dear.
1985 speaks of these three youngsters’ loss of innocence, but it also relates a breakdown of trust: that felt by the general populace towards the police and the world of politics, whose repercussions can still be felt today.
