Nothing more and nothing less
than my great hit,

"Forever"!

Well, it's time.

Welcome everyone to a new school year.

Welcome to the first day

of the rest of your...

- Lives!
- Lives!

As you well know,

our school, Ultranova,

is the only one with a musical focus
in the whole city.

Furthermore, we have the fortune
of being sponsored

by the famous record label

Ultranova Records.

- Excuse me, ma'am, the auditorium?
- Yes, sir, here on the right.

Let's begin with the start
of this year's auditions.

May the best ones win!

And like every year, it's our tradition

- to start...
- To start where others

- end.
- Where others end.

Today, the lives of the most talented
five artists of our school

will change

forever when they come to take part
of this select group

that I have christened as

The high-pitched ones!

Go, Sara!

Well, here we have the four stars

that will become part

of the new generation of Los Agudos.

There's only one spot left.

One star.

The last star is for...

Latina! Latina! Latina!

Latina! Latina! Latina!

Latina!

Okay, one moment, please.

As you can see,
we only have one star left.

And the jury has decided,

and only one member of Latina

will be a part of the new generation
of Los Agudos.

The new star is...

Martina!

- Come on.
- No!

It's just that we're a duo.

You were a duo.

Past tense, present tense,

you are part of a quintet.

So, please, go on to your star.

Come on, let's not waste any more time.
Come on.

- No.
- Huh?

Either both of us get in
or neither one gets in.

Let's see, Martina.

The success train comes just once in life.

Well, either you take it
or it leaves you. You decide.

Well then, let it leave me.

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you

to the newest member

of Los Agudos.

What is the name of the clarinet boy?

- Panchito?
- Panchito.

Let me introduce the new star, Panchito!

Please, come on.

Okay, I want everyone,
even the ones up there,

to please give it up

for the newest generation of Los Agudos.

Really.

- Mr. Kramer.
- Not now.

- Really.
- Please.

Very good.

- Congratulations. Very good.
- Mr. Kramer.

Yes, I know.

Uh, Mr. Kramer, I need to speak with you,
I come on behalf of...

Who let in the messenger over here?

You, Peter?

- I'm not the messenger.
- No?

- Take the box and get him out of here.
- Yes.

- Quickly, please.
- You heard him, sir. Thank you.

- Please. Hey, come here.
- I need to speak with you.

- Tell me something.
- Professor Kramer...

- He is very busy, we all are.
- No.

- I need to speak with him.
- If you need more information,

go to the website
and request an appointment via email.

- Excuse me, Mr. Kramer. Mr. Kramer.
- Security! Security!

- No. One moment.
- Take him, please.

- Take him.
- I'll go with you.

- Please come with us.
- Yes, please. Enough.

- Let me speak with you.
- Mr. Kramer.

- Peter.
- Professor.

Take the package to the office, and...

- Yes.
- Okay, very well.

Well, as I was saying...

It's amazing.

Hey, we did it, no?

We have the winning team.

I can't believe it!

I just reached one thousand followers.

I just gave you a follow.

Listen, guys.

What if we create a group chat,
just Los Agudos?

Yes, of course, darling. You organize it

and let us all know.

- Okay, done.
- We already have a chat.

Why don't we add Panchito and...

Ah... Yes, if you already have one,
you can add me.

Okay, let's see.

The expression on Kramer's face.

- He was shocked when you rejected him.
- No.

That was amazing.

I mean, best day of my life, thank you!

- Thank you very much.
- Okay.

You would've done the same.

Are you sure?

- Ah! I'm just kidding!
- Right?

I just can't believe it.

Miss Gonzales. Please go
to the principal's office right now.

- Did you see?
- What?

I think Kramer is going to open
one more spot.

- You think?
- Yes.

Tell me something.

How do you get along with Martina?

With Martina?

Super, I would dare to say
she is one of the few

people in the world that you can trust.

- Talented, right?
- Very.

Martina has it all.

Tell me the truth,
do you think she'll succeed?

I don't think. I'm sure.

How sweet!

That's the innocence of youth, right?

Let's stop lying to each other.

We both know that Martina's future
depends on you.

You better than anyone knows
that Martina is never going to leave you.

On the other hand, you have
the possibility of letting her go.

Yes.

Well.

See you later.

Hello, my sponsors, my patrons,

my favorite record label.

What?

Hey! Wait.

Stop, please. Stop.

Professor Molino.

- Molina.
- What?

- Molino.
- Molina.

Oh, sorry. Professor Molina.

Allow me to apologize.

I am red with shame.

For the terrible misunderstanding
a while ago, but...

- Allow me. Allow me!
- No, professor.

- No. I'll come back another day.
- Allow me.

Please understand, professor.

Today is the first day of school.

The big auditions day.

Besides, no one told me
you were coming, professor.

Allow me. Oh, okay.

Thank you. Thank you.

Professor, it's a shame
you didn't get to see

the artists we chose, man.

The new Los Agudos.

Don't worry, Mr. Kramer,
I saw the whole show.

Oh, that's great!

Professor Molina, it will be a pleasure

to have you amongst our teaching staff.

I'm really grateful with the label
for answering so quickly

my request for the spot.

And I want you to know,
that I never intended

to disrespect you or the label.

They are my sponsors.

Please, excuse me.

Um, please cancel the service, sir!

No, we have to pay him for waiting.

- Oh, pay him.
- How much do I owe you?

- The minimum fee, sir.
- Okay.

We don't have money.

No worries, please, professor.

How could I not sponsor our sponsor?

- Do you have change?
- Thank you.

- Keep the change.
- Thank you very much.

You can take it out of my first payment.

You can count on that, professor.
Please, come with me.

I don't know, We can keep doing this
outside of school.

Lala, you know that's not going to happen
if Martina joins Los Agudos.

Let me bring the chair down.

What did Kramer say to you
that you are very insistent?

Hey, hi.

Did you come to say goodbye or what?

You see? Everyone knows

that this is not your place.

Please.

And why didn't you show up
to the audition?

Because he can't stand Kramer's "big hit."

Actually, I think it's all a ruse.

Don't look at me like that,
I know what I'm saying.

Relax,
because they didn't even let me begin.

Not even.

That's because Kramer knows
that you always speak the truth.

And obviously he's scared of you.

Kramer doesn't believe
that freestyle is music,

but for that, I have this small wonder
that does believe in me. How are you?

- Hey!
- That's it! She does believe in me.

Well, professor,
let's talk about what is truly important,

which are the talents.

For me, that's the raw material
of this institution.

Because I think this school
is a great mine

that at the same time
is divided into two mines.

One of diamonds and one of carbon.

They are the same.

- What?
- A carbon mine and a diamond mine.

What do you mean the same?
What are you saying?

Of course! The professor and I
have talked about this hundreds of times.

Yes! Of course we have.

And with my talent, professor,

I'm going to make sure
to polish those diamonds, and you

with that people gift
that you obviously have,

is going to be in charge of accompanying
these students

on the painful journey to understand

that they weren't born for the music.

And you hired me for that?

This stays between us, okay?

Professor, let me introduce you
to your students.

Los Graves.

Guys, today is your lucky day.

Straight from Ultranova Records label,

and exclusively for each and
every one of you, a great coach.

A man who holds my trust,
my right-hand man.

An extension of my body.

A unique man. Please, meet...

- Peter.
- No, no.

What's his name? The professor...

The professor, man.

Go and find the professor. Professor!

Professor Amaranto. Please, come in.

- Come here. Come in.
- This way, professor.

This way. Yes.

Okay. Stop that.

Over here, professor.

What's he doing here?

Good morning.

Okay.

You are in the best hands.

And I hope you enjoy

the first day of the rest of your...

- Lives!
- Lives!

I don't know...

Well, my name is...

You...

Please, would you stop playing
with the pen?

Thank you.

Well, as I was saying, my name is...

My name is...

Do you really have to do that?

Do what, professor?

Play with that pen.

Ah, I just wanted to write your name
but it's like the pen doesn't work.

- I can lend you this one, look.
- Oh, yeah?

Okay.

- Good.
- Good.

Good one.

- Guys, free day today.
- Super free.

I don't want to join Los Agudos
without you.

Oh, stop being so dramatic.

We are still going to make music together.

It's not the end of Latina.

Be happy for the both of us.

Come on.

You still have five years
of exclusivity with me.

And if memory serves me right,
I still remember, right?

That it's been a while since you released

one of your hits, right?

And it's highly likely they won't renew
your contract as principal.

And they will accept my proposal.

Oh, your proposal?
So you work on proposals, now.

You quit singing? What a loss.

No, I want them to finance my new studio.

To go back to being the great artist I am.

Stop wasting my time, Karina Jaimes

and stop wasting yours.

I'm on great terms with the label.

The other day I asked them for a professor
and the next day I already had him here.

They listen to me on everything.

I imagine they listen to you
on everything, but...

Let me ask you something...

Could it be

that they planted a spy
without you realizing?

- A what?
- A sp...

Principal.

Sorry for interrupting.

- No, no.
- No!

You're not interrupting
anything important.

Actually, I spoke with the label.

They are very interested in releasing
an album with you.

As you can see,
I'm very busy working. So...

Thank you very much for the chocola...

Oh, right. You didn't bring anything.

Good day, the exit is that way.

I see you and you have everything
to be successful.

I'm going to give you a card.

I'll see you there, okay?

Take care.

I am so confident
that by joining our talents,

we're going to go big.

We?

Hey, Panchito,
did you learn the choreography yet?

Right.

Which choreography?

You are in trouble.

Because we have it memorized,

and it's the first thing
we'll show Kramer.

Right, guys?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Don't worry, I learn very fast.

What do I need to do?

Watch and learn.
