On the outskirts of São Paulo, four black girls who have been singing together since childhood fight to fulfill their dream of making a living off their music. With their rap group Antonia, they find a manager and begin to put on shows in bars and parties. But, just as the dream seems to be coming true, their hopes are dashed by the daily events which accompany poverty, chauvinism and violence which threaten the group and place their friendship in jeopardy.
