The main character, Miguel, was born into a family of shoemakers who hated music because Miguel's grandfather had abandoned his family for it. So music is taboo for Miguel's family, but Miguel has inherited his grandfather's talent and loves music. On the Day of the Dead, Miguel was shining shoes in the square and was inspired by a musician to sign up for a music competition.
But at that moment, his grandmother found out and took him back, and the family stopped Miguel from touching music. Miguel was told to learn how to make shoes and take over the family business.
Grandma takes Miguel to see his ancestors and tells him the family story.
Miguel also mentions his grandfather, whom the family disliked and whose portrait was mercilessly torn away.
But his grandmother's obstacles didn't discourage Miguel from pursuing music, and he still wanted to go to the music competition. So he sneaks up to his attic and builds a guitar and prepares to sneak out to the square to participate in the competition. By chance, Miguel discovers that the town's great musician, De la Cruz, is probably his own great-grandfather, so he has more confidence in his own musical dreams, and believes that he has inherited his great-grandfather's genes.
Unfortunately, he is still discovered by his grandmother, who smashes Miguel's guitar in a fit of rage. Miguel rushed out of the house despite his family's obstruction.
When Miguel came to the square to take part in the competition, he had no instrument and could not take part in the competition. He begged for a guitar, but no one was willing to lend it to him. Suddenly, Miguel remembers his grandfather, the great musician Delacruz, so he goes to the cemetery to steal the guitar used by Delacruz in his lifetime, not realizing that he has accidentally entered the kingdom of the dead.
The kingdom of the dead is so beautiful that every year on the Day of the Dead, as long as a family member offers a picture of them, they can safely cross the Petal Bridge and meet their loved ones.
But if there is no family member to offer a photo, the person cannot cross the bridge and meet their family.
Even if the person breaks through the barrier, he or she will not be able to step onto the bridge of petals.
Miguel, who entered the Land of the Undead by mistake, happened to meet his great-grandmother, who could not go back to see her loved ones because her tribute had been stolen, and Miguel had to get the blessing of his loved ones before sunrise in order to go back to the real world, or else he would stay in the Land of the Undead forever. But the great-grandmother blessed Miguel, hoping that he went back to place their own photos, but the attached condition is never to touch the music, Miguel was reluctant to turn around and run away again.
Miguel was ready to go to the musician de la Cruz, hoping that he would support his dream and give his blessing to go home. As he was leaving, he happened to hear Hector say that he knew de la Cruz and hoped that he could take him to see the great musician. Hector's condition was that Miguel bring back a picture of himself so that he could meet his family.
In order to get close to the musician, who also needs to pass a music competition to gain sole entry into the hall, Hector takes Miguel to his best friend to borrow a guitar. The friend says to Ector, "If you sing me a song, I'll lend it to you. Hector, who hadn't sung for a long time, did so in order to go home, and at the end of the song, his best friend was gone. Because the last person in the world who remembers him is also dead, but there is no picture of him, so he is gone forever.
The two got the guitar and played a perfect set of music, which the audience loved, but the great-grandmother also found Miguel at this time, and Miguel had to run away, missing the chance to win the first prize. After realizing that Ector didn't know the great musician and was only trying to trick him into bringing back his picture, Miguel was angry and left each other after a disagreement with Ector.
With the help of his team, who just won first place at the concert, Miguel was able to get into the musician's reception. After singing a song, the musician favors him and loudly announces that he is his great-grandson.
Just as the musician was about to give Miguel his blessing to go home, Hector arrived, hoping Miguel could help him bring back the photo, but the big musician refused. It turns out that the big musician relied on Ector's music to become famous, and lied to the world that it was all the big musician's fault. The two were best friends, but they broke up because of their differences in music.
From the movie clip shown at the banquet, Ector learned the truth about his death. It turns out that he didn't get food poisoning, but was murdered by the great musician. On the day Ector said goodbye to his family, the Great Musician poisoned his wine and killed him.
Discovering that the two men knew the truth, the Great Musician decided to block Miguel's return, so that Ector would not be remembered by the world in a way that would jeopardize the Great Musician's reputation. So he threw the two into the valley and took the only photo of Ector.
Miguel realizes that Ector is about to be forgotten by his family and left for good. Suddenly they realize that Ector's only family is Mikel's grandmother. The only way to save Ector is to go back as soon as possible and bring the photo to his grandmother before she passes away to remind her of her father.
The two escaped from the valley with the help of the beast, and their great-grandmother forgave them when she realized the truth, and together they searched for the big musician to retrieve her husband's photo.
After devising a plan, they went to the Big Musician's show to grab the photo, but failed and the photo was thrown into the river. But the atrocities of the big musician were broadcasted live and known to all the viewers.
As dawn approached, his great-grandmother had to tell Miguel to hurry back. Miguel couldn't bear the thought of his great-grandfather being forgotten by everyone because there was no picture of him, and promised Ector that he wouldn't let his great-grandmother forget Ector.
Returning to the real world, Miguel rushed into his great-grandmother's room despite his family's obstruction, hoping that she would remember his father, but because there was no photo, no matter how much Miguel shouted, his great-grandmother could not do anything. This is the most touching part of the movie, and most people are in tears because of it.
In a moment of desperation, Miguel remembers the song "rememberme" that Ector wrote for his daughter because he used to sing it to her when she was little, and she responds by remembering her father and finding the tattered photo.
One year later, on the Day of the Dead, Hector was finally able to walk on the bridge to meet his family, and reunited with his daughter in a happy embrace.
And Miguel was finally able to boldly sing in front of his family, guarding his dream, and the family lived happily ever after.
The whole movie is still wonderful, touching, but there are still a lot of sets, even if it is not optimal, but definitely worth a look.
