"BIOS" Lives that Have Changed Yours, unsuspected details of the life and work of Latin American popular culture icons. Renowned personalities go deep into the protagonists' private lives and, thanks to exclusive access, are witnesses of unforgettable and unique moments, while discovering first-hand unpublished files from their past.

The singer and composer Julieta Venegas joins Charly García on a journey to places that have left a mark on his life, as his first music conservatory, and also to the moments when he gets to know in depth key people from his inner circle, such as Pedro Aznar, David Lebón, Billy Bond and Palito Ortega. All of this while participating in the behind-the-scenes of his great return to the stage in the mythical street Corrientes.

In Argentina, as well, Chilean pop singer Javiera Mena delves into Gustavo Cerati's most private worlds, all over his mother's house to his recording studio, Unísono. With the support of Cerati's family and closest friends, the participation of former Soda Stereo members and musicians of his last band, Javiera manages to decipher the most hidden motivations of the rock star and finds invaluable treasures, such as an unpublished song, which has been sheltered by an old love.

Meanwhile, in Mexico, the journalist and VJ Arturo Hernández gets to know the day to day of the legendary Alex Lora and his rock and roll band El Tri. In bars, rehearsals, concerts, visits to prisons and even opposite to the wall that divides Mexico and the United States, Arturo discovers the secrets of Lora's beginnings, figures out his formula of validity and experiences the strength of the unbreakable bond that unites the icon of the Mexican rock with his audience and with his "Tamer"-his wife and manager-, Chela Lora.

Finally, in Brazil, Fabio Porchat explores the incredible imaginary world of Mauricio de Sousa, the cartoonist who became the Walt Disney but in Portuguese. Together they return to Mogi das Cruzes, the small town where he began to dream about his characters and where he learned to overcome each of the destiny's obstacles until consolidating an editorial empire. Throughout his life, De Sousa has combined family and career: his children have become the inspiration of his most important characters, not to mention his greatest professional allies.Within private life, both at home and work, Fabio Porchat realizes how an artist and a businessman, a man and an eternal child can coexist in a single human being.
