Synopsis

edit

Four school friends form a music band with which they dream of being famous. They are from the upper class and play rock, a genre that at the end of the 1980s was in full swing due to the Peruvian social conflicts and the rise of the terrorism in the country. Astalculo, the band, participates in a contest whose final prize is to play in a great concert in the Plaza de Acho, but first they must play in popular stages that will make them see the reality of the country in which they live. The competition will force them to get out of their privileged bubble, see the other side of the city and face the problems of their country in conflict. Peruvian rock hymns will accompany them on this journey to adulthood, in which they will live romances and adventures, and music will be the best antidote to not lose hope.[5][6]
