Brace yourselves for Prime Video’s exciting new viewing treats this month.

‘Música’ (Began streaming on April 4)

Rudy Mancuso, a charismatic but directionless young street performer from Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood, has a unique view of the world. Thanks to a rare condition called synesthesia, he experiences everyday noises—from car horns to water droplets to doors slamming—as a series of complex rhythms. He struggles to keep the music in his head at bay, but it’s not so easily accomplished.

Rudy lives with his mother, Maria (played by the actor’s real-life mother, Maria Mancuso), who wants her son to dump his girlfriend Haley (Francesca Reale) and settle down with a nice Brazilian girl from the neighborhood. He also gets advice on life and love from his best friend, Anwar (comedian JB Smoove), a food truck operator whose cultural identity morphs based on where his truck is parked on any given day.

Matters take a turn for the chaotic when Rudy is literally knocked out by a flying piece of frozen fish. The accident leads to an encounter with Isabella (Camila Mendes), a beautiful young Brazilian woman who may understand Rudy in ways nobody else ever has.

An untraditional romantic comedy that moves to its own infectious beat, “Música” stars online sensation Rudy Mancuso, who based the film on his own experiences and also serves as the film’s director, cowriter, composer and choreographer.

‘How to Date Billy Walsh’ (April 5)

Teenagers Amelia (Charithra Chandran) and Archie (Sebastian Croft) have been best friends since childhood. Archie has always been there to fight Amelia’s battles and laugh at her jokes all while keeping his lifelong love for her a secret.

But just when he builds up the courage to declare his feelings, Amelia falls head over heels for Billy Walsh (Tanner Buchanan), the new American transfer student. Heartbroken Archie goes to great lengths to try and keep Amelia and Billy away from each other, but ends up pushing them closer together and risks losing his best friend in the process.

‘Fallout’ (April 11)

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, ‘Fallout’ is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. But 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.

‘Firefly’ (April 30)

Directed by Zig Dulay and starring Alessandra De Rossi, Euwenn Mikael Aleta and Dingdong Dantes, “Firefly” follows a little child who, after hearing tales from his mother at bedtime, sets off to find the fabled island of fireflies.
