Portugal 2024, 23 min, Portuguese, Hebrew & English subtitles

The night kicks off with recording a new track, the drop that will finally blow up. After that, drinks and freestyle rap, taking turns adding lines to the flow, another night at the bar, then a blunt. They mess around in the street, throw a rave in the parking lot. But before dawn creeps in, as the high wears off, the familiar truth hits: Today will be no different. They will wake up to the same temp jobs and the same dreams of getting their big break in the trap music scene. This film cleverly and poignantly blends the real lives and fantasies of three young men from a small town in Portugal, who still believe they can make it in this world.
