Set in 1990s Cuba, this powerful documentary explores the rise of the island’s underground reggaeton movement led by the mysterious artist Candyman. Through music, dance, and the voices of rebellious youth, the film reveals how a new sound sparked cultural resistance and transformed a generation during a time of major social change.
