We are Mari Pepa was born of the need to make a tribute to my grandmother, the neighborhood where I grow up, my friends and my multiple failed rock bands. Is a letter to my adolescence, to that difficult and weird age, full of doubts, and desolation. This story is showing through Alex,a 16 year old teenager living with his grandma has various plans to occupy himself during the summer: writing a new song with his rock band, finding a job and having his first sexual experience. He also becomes aware that his grandma is increasingly dependent on him. As summer draws on, Alex realizes that things are going to change forever and that he will have to grow up and learn to say goodbye.—Anonymous

When they realize they need two songs in order to enter a punk rock contest, they compose a second song, but it curiously sounds like the first one, only the lyrics have changed. Little by little, each member of Mari Pepa drops out of the band, leaving the leader Alex to contemplate his future as a rock star.—Anonymous
