Our take

The spunky spirit of rock ‘n’ roll lives on in Gustavo Galvão’s adrenaline-pumping ode to artistic and personal liberation. Intended as a commentary on the stifling censorship in his hometown of Brasília, this transnational journey toward self-discovery attests to the transformative power of music.
