    • Synopsis
    • A film about contemporary Cuban youth through the music and dance of Reggaeton. Despite being the most popular music in the island, it's barely heard in the official media, thriving in a truly unique underground scene and being promoted in the most ingenious ways. In the midst of a unique socio political situation during a key moment in Cuban history, we discover a cultural and commercial phenomenon without equal, hand in hand with an irreverent youth that's living its own revolution.

      ABOUT THIS FILM
      In the mid-1990s Cuba was seemingly frozen in time but, in fact, it was going through profound changes. Young people were eagerly searching for something else and embraced a new musical movement that was spreading across the island.
      Its leader was Kandyman and the music, reggaeton.
