Inolvidable is a jukebox musical coming-of-age drama about two young q***r women, Jeni and Maria Jose, who try finding their identity in the midst of family dysfunctionality, past relationships, and evolving communtiy through Juan Gabriel’s iconic music. Jeni’s world gets turned upside down when her estranged mother, Diana, comes back into her life. Trying to reconcile herself with lost time and to seek artistic freedom, Jeni leaves Tia Celia heartbroken and with an empty home. At the same time, Maria Jose finds herself out of her comfort zone when sneaking into a gay bar, el Noa Noa, after an argument with her boyfriend of four years, Andres. Here, Jeni and Maria Jose meet for the first time and embark on a challenging relationship as they both face hardships that keep them from developing their new feelings for one another.
