A fiction film based on the real story of a 16 year-old boy who, aided by the internet, won over the world with his talent for music and art. Fluent in five languages, Yonlu had a network of virtual friends on all continents. However, no one suspected he was also taking part in a forum for potential suicides.
"'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."
