The film cinematographically reenacts the moment when the song “Sonho'', which means "Dream" in Portuguese, was written by Nego Bala as a 12 year old juvenile detention centre inmate. Without a device to record, he had to hum the melody and lyrics to not forget it, but was violently censored for singing. As a child behind bars, funk was his tool to mentally escape the harsh reality of the institution and enter in his own “Realm of Dreams” where he can visualise his freedom and his future accomplishments in his mind, in order to accomplish them in the physical world. Nego’s final scene with his younger self was an improvised speech with the camera rolling. It’s a blend of poetry with rawness. Making the 14-minute short film a message of hope to millions of other kids: “regardless of the place".
