Granada, late 90s. In full artistic and cultural effervescence, an indie music band is going through its most delicate moment: the bassist breaks up with the band looking for her place outside music and the guitarist is immersed in a dangerous spiral of self-destruction. Meanwhile, the singer is facing a complicated process of writing and recording his third album. Little does anyone know that this album will forever change the music scene across the country.
