Sparkling, dynamic and realistic film which shows the life of four female hip-hop stars (in real life also singers) who live in one of the poorer areas of São Paulo. Their love for performing and music-making seems the basis on which to build an independent life. Poverty, violence and machismo are a threat to their teamwork and friendship. Through their assertiveness and their persistence to go on, they find a way to continue.
Antonia touches upon daily issues such as violence, homophobia, racism, sexism and social rejection which are part of daily life on the outskirts of São Paulo. Portrait of strong women who fight for their ideals and their friendship.
