Synopsis

The daily life of two young men in the outskirts of Recife, a Brazilian metropolis. Helinho, a vigilante known as The Little Prince, is accused of killing 65 outlaws in the county of Camaragibe. Garnize, a member of the rap band Faces do Suburbio, is a political activist who uses culture to face difficult survival in the inner city. Both of them are opposites and at the same time children of a silent social war that is fought daily in the inner city of the great Brazilian cities. The objective is to show two lives marked by the urban violence, who choose different weapons for their survival: the gun and the raising of conscience through words; the bullet and the drum beat.
