In the summer of 2000, four pre-teen friends formed a band called X-Cetra and burned a homemade album onto a few CD-Rs. The following year, consumed by adolescent concerns, their labor of love was quickly forgotten.... until 20 years later, when someone uploaded it online. At first, it garnered a small base of outsider-art fans, but soon it was discovered by record labels, sampled by mainstream artists, and eventually the subject of a Rolling Stone article.
With their teen dreams of pop stardom coming true decades later, X-Cetra reunites to see if they can rekindle the unselfconscious girlhood they’d captured in the album those many years ago, and recapture the friendships they'd let lapse along the way. Anyone who's ever had childhood friends will relate to this beautiful ode to the lasting power of friendship - even when we risk letting those friendships slip away.
