About Fuimos canciones (We Were Songs)

Maca (Mar a Valverde) is 30 years old, clumsy by nature, makes the most of life and strives to be happy. Maca's talent is wasted working as an assistant for an oppressive and terrifying fashion influencer and she spends her time with guys with whom she never manages to establish an emotional bond.

Together with her two unique and loveable friends, Jimena (El sabet Casanovas) and Adriana (Susana Abait a), who are always prepared to do everything possible to make their problems not seem so bad, Maca has managed to make Madrid a city where everything is possible.

All seems to be going well until HE, the unmentionable one, comes back into her life. Leo (Alex Gonz lez), the love and biggest mistake of her life, the man who tore her heart apart, obliterated her self-esteem and her faith in men, comes back into her life to turn everything upside down.

Maca has tried to forget him, but now she has to accept that he has returned and she must face those emotions that have been kept under tight lock and key and deal with the unforgettable memory of what could have been and never was.

The old wounds are reopened and Maca will have to be brave and confront her conflicts, fears and insecurities, in order to finally take control of her life.
