“Broder”, web series produced by Canal Encuentro and the production company Planta Alta about the hip hop underworld of the Buenos Aires suburbs, won the short series section of the third edition of the prestigious Canneseries Festival.

With a cast that combines professional actors such as Ailín Salas and Andy Gorostiaga with authentic references from the urban music scene, including Nucleo AKA Tintasucia, Klan and Rebeca Flores, "Broder" was triumphant among ten selected from the United States, Poland, Canada, Australia, Sweden and Norway.

Another Argentine production also competed in the category: “Tony”, the series of the channel of the National University of Tres de Febrero (UN3) starring, written and directed by Malena Filmus.

Broder follows the Mirko brothers (Gorostiaga) and Rome (Salas), who leave their native Junín de los Andes and move to a very different setting, in the house of his grandmother Patria (Marta Lubos) in the south of the suburbs.

The brothers quickly discover that they are neighbors of El Tri, a recording studio where rappers and exponents of urban music produce their art.

In a trend far removed from the productions on idealized youth by Cris Morena and her imitators, "Broder" plants the story in a scenario as raw as it is real, in a neighborhood crossed by the train lines, deficiencies and crime.

Hip hop culture, that today is experiencing a boom and an unusual exposure thanks to the national trap and the freestyle movement, is located in the foreground in this production that proposes to demolish prejudices and marvel at both the art of graffiti and the flow and rhymes of the musicians.

In that new and mobilizing scenario, Roma and Mirko will try to build a new path.

The ten episodes between 10 Y 25 minutes of "Broder", which was also awarded at the Buenos Aires Series Festival 2020 and of great presence in other competitions in the world of the short series specialty, premiered in 2019 on Public TV and are currently available in the Contar platform catalog.

Canneseries also celebrated the classic extension series, in which the Swedish "Partisan" was the winner.
