The real characters, Helinho and Garnizé, make up the nexus of the documentary. Helinho, a vigilante, 21 years old, known in the community as 'The Little Prince', is accused of killing 65 outlaws in the region of Camaragibe in Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil, and in a few areas of the inner city. Garnizé, a musician, and 26 years old, is a member of the rap band 'Faces do Subúrbio - Faces of the Suburbs', a political activist and community leader in Camaragibe, uses culture to face difficult survival in the city. The objective is to show two young residents of the same inner city; two lives marked by the same theme: urban violence. For their survival, different weapons: the musician's weapon is the rap while the instrument for the vigilante is the bullet and the drum beat; the fatal, deadly reckoning instead of the raising of conscience through words. Both of them are opposites and at the same time, the same children of a silent social war that is fought daily in the inner city of the great Brazilian cities. Life, death, childhood, old age, religion, ordinary people, unemployment, funk dances, entertainment, violence, prison, youth, music. 'O Rap do Pequeno Príncipe contra as almas sebosas - The Little Prince's Rap' is a look at the core of violence.
