15 minutes of funk-fueled soul-searching that hits harder than most 3-hour epics.
Amid an identity crisis, Fábio, 22 years old, a young black man from Cidade Tiradentes, reconnects with his past through a funk party with friends. On their way to the Fluxo, as these parties are called, he faces internal and external challenges that make him confront his feelings after his recent breakup. The film investigates the experiences of young people who live in the extreme east of São Paulo, the biggest city in Brazil and considered one of the main pillars of funk history.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cidade Tiradentes is one of São Paulo's most neglected peripheries; funk carioca migrated there and mutated into something politically charged and deeply local.
The film's title plays on 'fluxo' as both party and flow state—Fábio's crisis is literally losing his rhythm.
