Nota da Realizadora Director's Statement

I met Emeer for the first time in 2015, while I was in Tunisia researching for a documentary on street art. I was fascinated by his way of dancing and by the story of his life. However, I decided I would not include him in the work I was carrying out at the time because I felt Emeer’s unique experience, and the sheer poetry expressed by art as a means of saving one’s life, required a narration apart. 
The story will develop on different levels: that of Emeer’s life that, greatly disadvantaged in the beginning, not only rises up again, but reaches a goal of preeminence and excellence thanks to his strength of character and willpower; the strength of art as a unique driving power, able to transform human beings and finally the love that bounds parents and children. These forces combined succeed in transforming what could seem a tragedy of a family into a mutual growth and development path. 
These three levels will intersect each other in Emeer’s tale, in the style of a biopic focused on the protagonist. The other characters will turn about him with a special attention to the relationship between son and father. 
The story, a powerful message and prime example in itself, contains great communicative resources towards the young generations, as it speaks a language they are familiar with and is set against a background they know and love: that of hip hop, particularly of the break dance.
