Sergio Algora (1969-2008) founded in the nineties the alternative pop group El Niño Gusano, reaching success in the independent scene until 1999, the year in which the band was dissolved. After publishing a couple of works with a new formation - Muy Poca Gente - he created La Costa Brava, with which he recorded six albums. He also published several books of poetry, theater and short narrative, as well as working as a columnist in some media. Death surprised him at 39, while he was sleeping, because of a heart failure. In 2018 marks the tenth anniversary of his disappearance and the documentary aims to trace a journey through his artistic career - both musical and literary - as well as bringing together some of the people who accompanied him. Tell those who knew him, that when Sergio was in a good mood he liked to open a bottle to the eccentric cry of "Today is my birthday, champagne for everyone!". The documentary aspires to be the just and deserved recognition of a pioneer of Spanish alternative music, a brilliant avant-garde artist who mixed life and art with an unrepeatable look and with a unique talent. A poet of pop. There are many who remember and vindicate his figure, from music journalists (Julio Ruiz, Jesús Ordovás) to bandmates (Francisco Nixon, Ricardo Vicente, Sergio Vinadé), including all those musicians who recognize his influence (Nacho Vegas, Amaral) . The documentary, more than a posthumous tribute (something that Sergio would not have liked at all), aims to collect and share the legacy of his entire career accompanied by his most remembered motto: "Champagne for everyone!".
