The first Asian hip-hop film opens in Taiwan on April 7th. Like all the best dance/subculture movies, rival gangs fight their battles as dance-offs.

Choco and his friends find a space to hone their routines. Their loud music bothers the gorgeous upstairs neighbour Ally -- she’s a classical girl. Choco is definitely interested in her, but his heart belongs to the dance.

Breakdancing is a cut-throat world -- internal rivalry and the intrusion of the real world take their toll on the group of dancers.
