Over five years of filming, Agridulce's small committed crew documented pivotal moments in the children’s coming of age.  The film combines the immersion of narrative fiction with the impact of being absolutely real. Through intimate portraits drawn with a light boundary between interview and dialog, the film is graphic in its portrayal of society's challenges and unequivocal in its message hope.

While the story is particular to Cabarete, it relates to issues faced by communities everywhere. By showing the significance of bachata in these children’s search for identity, Agridulce suggests the benefits that the arts can bring to young lives everywhere.
