While there, they meet their tour manager, "Benita" (Mariscal), singer "Rosita" (Yuri) and one particular fan, "Carlota", (de las Nieves) who intends to kidnap one of the band members, during a visit to Acapulco, Guerrero for a concert, to keep him as a boyfriend.[2]
The group also meets and helps a young female fan who needs a medical operation.[3]
During the movie's filming, several cast members became friends; Gabriel Fernandez of Los Chamos and co-star Yuri had a short but well publicized romance. The two later married other people and remained as life-long friends.[4]
