Gifted with a voice to sing but bored with the false glamour of impersonator singers making covers of famous songs, one night Dani meets Sandra and her friend Margarita, that they work impersonating Adele and Amy Winehouse. Feeling an instant love interest for Sandra, she discovers Dani's voice during a disco party and with help of Popi, she organizes a solo gig for him in Popi's local. But at the moment of truth Dani suffers an attack of stage fright, making a terrible gig. Even worse, Dani has a strong discussion with his grandfather about to live as waiter instead as singer, and during a performance of Margarita as Amy, Dani and Pierre have a fight with some customers who were despising Margarita, causing that Sandra rejects him by his bad attitude.
