Storyline
Xavi Font and his group of friends arrive on the island of Ibiza to fulfil their dream of becoming fashion designers in Spain in the mid-1980s. There they are discovered by José Luís Gil, a producer and music industry magnate in search of fresh and different talent with which to put together a successful group. None of them can sing, but that doesn’t stop them from tasting the sweetness of success. A relaxed life in Ibiza, sold-out concerts in Latin America and their voices in nightclubs all over the world. Their style was groundbreaking and new, their fans were obsessed with them and they made millions. But all this success came at a high cost: their own freedom.
Follows the Spanish group Locomía, showcasing the ins and outs of club culture, the golden age of record companies and the explosion of Latin music in Miami.
