Miguel: Sometimes, I think I'm cursed. Cause it's something that happened before I was even born. See, a long time ago, there was this family. The Papa, he was a musician. He and his family would sing and dance and count their blessings. But he also had a dream: to play for the world. And one day, he left with his guitar. And never returned. And the mama, she didn't have time to cry over that walkly musician. After banishing all music from her life, she found a way to provide for her daughter. She rolled up her sleeves and she learned to make shoes.
In the story, a young man narrates a story to tell about How his Family bans Music in their life.
Miguel: She could've made candy or, or fireworks or sparkly underwear for wrestlers but no. She chose shoes. Then she taught her daughter to make shoes. And later, she taught her son-in-law. Then her grand-kids got roped in. As her family grew, so did the business. Music had torn her family apart. But shoes held them all together.
We then see a young girl was being hold by her mother's arms in the Picture.
Miguel: You see that woman was my great-great grandmother. Mama Imelda, she died way before I was born. But my family still tells her story and every year on Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. And her little girl, she's my great grandmother, Mama Coco.
We view Mama Coco as Miguel Rivera comes in.
Miguel Rivera: Hola, Mama Coco. [kisses her]
Mama Coco: How are you, rijo?
She says his wrong name but he smiles instead. Even though, Mama Coco has troubling remembering things but Miguel loves her so much.
Miguel: Actually, my name is Miguel. Mama Coco has trouble remembering things but it's good to talk to her anyway. So I tell her pretty much everything.
He gives her a food to her hand then he toss his food in the air and eats it.
We view Miguel telling Mama Coco various things.
Miguel: I used to run like this, but now I run like this cause it's way faster. [in a wrestler's outfit] And the winner is... Locho Maro Coco! And the dimple on this side is not on this side. Dimple, no dimple. Dimple, no dimple.
We see a Miguel's Family are having dinner. Abuelita Elena bring some food for her family.
Elena: Aye, Miguel. Eat your food.
Miguel: (narrating) My abuelita, she's Mama Coco's daughter.
Elena: Aw, you're a twig, mijo. Have some more.
Miguel: No, gracias.
Elena: I ask if you would like more tamales.
Miguel: Si?
Elena: That's what I thought you said.
Elena then positions the picture correctly on the shrine filled with family photos.
Miguel: Abuelita runs our house just like Mama Imelda did.
Elena turns to see Miguel blowing into an empty bottle rhythmically and grabs it from him.
Elena: No music!
A Pizza Planet truck drives by the house but Elena shuts the window.
Elena: No music!
