Ricky is the leader of a gang of thugs nostalgic for the 50s style, at odds with all the rap groups in the city. He’s already thinking about how to steal command from them, perhaps during the masquerade party he’s organizing, but news arrives that Ulrica, a real witch, is forming another all-girl gang. Ricky can’t allow it and sends all his men to Ulrica, disguised as girls. But here comes Amelia, the girlfriend of Renato, Ricky’s best friend, who is also secretly in love with her. Amelia is also secretly in love with Ricky and wants to change gangs to get away. Ulrica welcomes Amelia as long as she passes a test of courage. What will happen and how will the fight between bullies end?
