Heroes Norte

The comedy about five ordinary guys who meet under the worst circumstances and form a band in search for stardom in the world of norteno music begins when "Don Apolinar," a gifted oboe player educated in the most prestigious of conservatories, loses his job and wife. Sad and lonely, he decides to try his luck up in northern Mexico, forming a group with others like him who have nothing to lose. The men decide to create fake celebrity identities, with the exception of "Zacarias," who after a career in the state's police force, trades his guns in to live his dream of becoming a star. Under the direction of "Don Apolinar" (Humberto Busto) on the accordion, "Faquir" (Armando Hernandez) on the guitar, "Botarga" (Andres Almeida) on the base, "Menonita" (Marius Biegai) on the drums and "Zacarias" (Miguel Rodarte) as lead singer, the group begins playing small gigs until a stroke of luck takes them to some of Mexico's biggest stages. Not before hitting several comedic bumps along the way however.
