In the Mexican town of Santa Cecilia, a young woman named Imelda marries a man who eventually leaves her and her daughter Coco to pursue a music career. When he never returns, Imelda banishes music from her family forever and starts a shoemaking business. Several years later, Imelda’s great-great-grandson, Miguel, now lives with the elderly Coco and their family, including Miguel’s parents and his grandmother, who are also shoemakers. Despite his family’s music ban, Miguel secretly idolizes the deceased musician Ernesto de la Cruz, and teaches himself to play guitar by watching Ernesto’s old films. He discovers a hidden section of the photograph shows his great-great-grandfather, whose head has been torn from the photo, holding Ernesto’s famous guitar. Believing this proves Ernesto is his relative, Miguel tells his family he will become a musician.
