Chico Science, Nação Zumbi, and their manguebeat. This is the theme of the documentary. The film explores the story of an artist, a band, and a musical genre that emerged in the early '90s, blending the roots of Brazilian culture with contemporary and international influences. As a result, the art, cinema, and especially the sound known as "manguebeat" stood out in the country's music scene as something entirely unique, original, and inspiring.
