Brief description of the plot
12-year-old Miguel lives in a Mexican village in a family of shoemakers and secretly dreams of becoming a musician. Secretly - because in his family clan, music is considered a curse. Once his great-great-grandfather left his wife, Miguel's great-great-grandmother, for a dream that now does not allow Miguel to live in peace. Since then, the musical theme in the family has become taboo. Miguel learns that there is a connection between him and his favorite singer, Ernesto de la Cruz, now deceased. The boy goes to the idol in the Land of the Dead, where he meets the souls of his ancestors. There, Miguel meets a trickster spirit named Hector (in the form of a skeleton), who becomes his guide. Together, they go in search of de la Cruz.

Краткое описание сюжета
12-летний Мигель живет в мексиканской деревушке в семье сапожников и втайне мечтает стать музыкантом. Втайне — потому что в его семейном клане музыка считается проклятием. Когда-то его прапрадедушка бросил свою жену, прапрабабушку Мигеля, ради мечты, которая теперь не дает Мигелю спокойно жить. С тех пор музыкальная тема в семье стала табу. Мигель узнает, что между ним и его любимым певцом Эрнесто де ла Крусом, ныне покойным, существует некая — до сих пор неназванная — связь. Паренек идет к идолу в Страну Мертвых, где встречается с душами своих предков. Мигель знакомится там с духом-трикстером по имени Гектор (в форме скелета), который становится его проводником. Вместе они отправляются на поиски де ла Круса.
