Synopsis
Maria, who was raised in a single-mother household, discovers a collection of CDs, photos, diaries, and an unplayable demo tape during the process of sorting through her late mother's belongings. The demo tape, like her, is labeled “MARIA.” What secret had her mother been hiding? What kind of song is recorded on the demo tape? To uncover her mother's secret, Maria heads to a live music venue.
