Synopsis

On the outskirts of the largest city in South America, SAo Paulo, four young black women struggle to make their dream of living off their music come true. The dream takes the shape and name of "Antonia" the rap group they form together. But the four of them will necessarily need more than just talent to survive in a world of exclusion, violence, poverty and male chauvinism. A warrior-like perseverance fuels the characters in ANTONIA, third feature-length film by Brazilian filmmaker Tata Amaral and the producers of UP AGAINST THEM ALL and CITY OF GOD.
