Santos began looking for a girl to build her feature film debut around and soon discovered Latifa Drame (24 years old), known as La Tiniebla (The Darkness) in the art world, one of the young stars of that scene she wanted to capture. "She had only been to a couple of battles and already had 300 people hanging on her every word and celebrating each one." <em>punchline</em> and a compilation on YouTube with the best moments."</p>]]></description>
