Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Venezuelan boy band flies to Acapulco for a week of performances. Two of them compete for the attentions of a slightly older girl and one is chased by a very clingy plain girl who is treated as a figure of fun. And then some stuff happens and stuff.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
