Next entry in the latest Belgian series success story: By looking at one of the darkest chapters of recent Belgian history, the successful producers of Eyeworks awaken understanding for the upheavals of today. 

As an atmospherically dense and gripping mixture of coming-of-age, contemporary portrait and crime story, the Belgian series production "1985" captivates. At the center of the story, which is based on harrowing true events, are three young people who move from the rural periphery to Brussels. Here, as police recruits and law students, they become embroiled in a corruption and crime scandal that grows in scope. Each of the three becomes part of the bloody events that affect not only them personally, but also the Belgian present, where, as a result of the sometimes almost unbelievable events, people have long since lost confidence in the Belgian institutions.
With "1985" shows repeatedly that Belgium is a reliable guarantor of multi-layered, high-quality and award-winning series productions that skillfully combine ambition and suspense.

By looking at one of the darkest chapters in recent Belgian history, Eyeworks' hit producers inspire understanding of the upheavals of today.
