Since Charl quit school to become a fulltime B-boy (breakdancer), he has been living his hip-hop dream on the Cape Flats. One of South Africa's best, he barely survives on the money that he wins at B-boy battles. To reign victorious at the upcoming SA B-boy champs, Charl and his crew must overcome Duane and Jed's famous powermoves. And Charl must defeat the battle raging inside his head: when you live in the Cape Flats, how do you believe you are a winner?
Break Boys pitches the ghetto against the system; winning against losing; B-boy against B-boy. The conflicts rage both externally and internally, but ultimately heroism begins at home, and true manhood is not proven in conflict, but in accepting personal responsibility.
