Felipe Pirela, known as America’s most romantic “bolero” singer, reviews his life and career. It begins with the path and inspiration that appeared in a small Maracaibo city radio station, all the way to becoming an international star of great success. In the midst of it, he meets the love of his life, a girl, a dream of impossible happiness. A “bolero”, that heartbroken song that will chase him for the rest of his days. Even though being farm from Venezuela, he will try to recover his life, retrieve his success, and once again find romance, passion and music.
