Sleepless all night, Kobra remembers his life, from the poor childhood in the outskirts of São Paulo to the international recognition of his work. The events unfold between reality and dream.

In an intimate journey, we get to know a rebellious, self-taught youngster doing graffiti illegally on the streets of São Paulo’s suburbs, up to worldwide fame as a muralist and peace activist.
