Eugene Jofra is a young jeweler who falls in love with Conchita since the moment he sees her in a line bus. They both start a romance in the city of Barcelona from the 60's, where Conchita has a musical career. This is the reason why Eugene decides to start playing the guitar.

To keep her girlfriend company on her concerts, the protagonist must overcome his stage fear. His solo musical career "Els dos" starts when Conchita has to leave two entire weeks and she tells Eugene he should keep making shows by himself while she's gone. What she doesn't expect is that, when she comes back, she'll find a very different scenario than when she left.
