Amid political, social, and economic chaos, young people from diverse backgrounds reclaim abandoned spaces—warehouses, train stations, parks—as sites of resistance. Aquilo Que os Jovens Chamam de Música captures the energy of these nights through the eyes of a girl trying to find her way. Together, they express themselves as a powerful force for change, moving through the sound waves of an expanding universe.
