Synopsis: 

A tribute to the most joyful band of the Catalan rumba scene. The trio’s joie de vivre broke through the black clouds of the Franco regime, even despite their background, which was by no means well-to-do. Theirs is a story of fame and petrol station cassette tapes, of brilliant singers and “awful” dancers (so said by one of the wives, in a fit of laughter) of family tenderness, of poverty and of rhythm. It's a story of triumph; a story of overcoming sadness, the abuses of prison schools and having been born on the wrong side of town. And it is a story of redemption. A story of marital love, despite the tours and entanglements. A story of family unity. And hits. Eight million stories in all.
