Why watch this film?

'Yonlu' is a Brazilian movie based on the life of Vinicius Gageiro Marques, better known by his artistic name Yoñlu, a child prodigy, super intelligent and a natural musician - who managed to compose and record around 60 songs in his bedroom. In the movie he is portrayed by Thalles Cabral (from the soap opera 'Amor à Vida'), revealing a little bit of an uncommon and melancholic mind, which couldn't adapt to the world we live in. Unfortunately, Vinicius committed suicide - one of the first ones broadcasted live online.
