Although they still love each other, their relationship seems close to an end. Tito is on his own living with his grandmother. While in rehearsals for their first big concert; they learn that two Spanish producers Martha and Lorenzo are in Cuba looking for new talents. Facing what might be the chance of a lifetime, they will have to conquer "the Spanish".
Deux jeunes musiciens cubains, Ruy et Tito, ont un rêve commun : devenir célèbre et quitter La Havane. Ruy vit avec la mère de ses deux enfants, Caridad, et malgré l'amour qu'ils partagent encore, leur couple est au bord de la rupture. Tito, quant à lui, habite seul avec sa grand-mère. Ils préparent l'organisation de leur premier grand concert quand ils apprennent que deux producteurs espagnols, Martha et Lorenzo, arrivent à Cuba à la recherche de nouveaux talents. Face à ce qu'ils pensent être la chance de leur vie, ils devront se lancer à la « conquête » des Espagnols.
