On the outskirts of São Paulo, four black girls who have been singing together since young 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.

From a young age, Freta, Barbara, Maya, and Reyna, four black girls from São Paulo, Brazil, have rapped together in the hope of becoming rap stars. Abandoning their usual back-up roles as a chorus for a male group, the four girls form their own hip-hop group, "Antonia," and prepare their own show. However, both poverty and everyday incidents, including male violence, threaten to disrupt their plan. Freta, who feels lonely at having to raise her daughter alone, gets into a fight with Maya for hanging out with Freta¡¯s boyfriend. Reyna¡¯s husband pressures her to quit singing while Barbara gets involved in a fight to avenge a hate crime against her younger gay brother, which leaves him almost dead. Rather than accept this harsh reality, however, the members of "Antonia" resist, singing hip-hop to the end. portrays the efforts of a group of free-spirited young people who express themselves and the rough reality that they are immersed in through the medium of hip-hop. To them, the popular musical form of hip-hop becomes a means to both resist and endure their harsh lives, and to pursue their freedom. (KIM Sunah) |

| Tata Amaral |
Tata Amaral (São Paulo, 1960) is one of the most awarded Brazilian filmmakers. Her first feature-length film, Um Céu de Estrelas (1997), was elected by critics as one of the three most important national films in the 90¡¯s, and won 18 awards in Brazil, United States, Italy, Cuba and France, including Best Film at the Boston and Trieste film festivals. Through the window(Atraves da Janela) (2000), her next movie won ten different awards in Brazil and abroad. Tata has directed more than ten short films, including the prestigious Viver a Vida (1991).
With a both dry and poignant cinematographic language, Um Céu de Estrelas and Through the window(Atraves da Janela) explore archetypical aspects of the representation of women. Antonia, closing the trilogy, was developed over a five year period in a research process which resulted in the shorts Juke Box (2002) and Vila Ipojuca (2003) and the documentary VinteDez (2001), all revolving around the life of youngster on the outskirts of São Paulo. |
