The rise of MC Sabrina, a young Brazilian funk singer, from her beginnings in Morro dos Prazeres to the electrifying favela parties that pulse through the heart of Rio de Janeiro.

In a neon-lit Rio de Janeiro favela where radical joy is an act of resistance, MC Sabrina (Duda Santos), a fearless young queer talent, catches the eye of an influential music producer. Thrust into the spotlight of the music industry, she must navigate aggressive attempts to “whitewash” her sound and her identity, stripping away her roots for commercial consumption.

Back home, her mother - a broken pioneer of the Baile Funk scene - looms over Sabrina’s rise like an open wound: a warning of stolen youth, a mirror of potential failure, and the last thread connecting her to who she truly is. To become the voice of a new, unapologetic generation, Sabrina must fight to reclaim her music, her body, and her roots, entirely on her own terms.
