This is the story of 'our own children', who grew up shut in their rooms, listening to music on headphones, making beats on the computer and writing bars in their notebooks, with friends for family and lives lived online. It is also the story of their parents' generation, who believed they would be better than their own parents and now watch their children make their mistakes and move ahead. Shouting in the stadium stands, blood on the pavements, secret social media accounts, mothers who worry, mothers who give up, fathers who become mothers in hard times: two generations with a chasm between them. A story about a rap group, dreams that take revenge, and children saved by music.
