Summer 2000: the X-cetra Story

It's the year 2000 in Santa Rosa, California. Pre-teen friends Jessica Hall, Ayden Mayeri, and sisters Janet and Mary Washburn form a band, X-Cetra, and record their own album inspired by the Spice Girls and the sounds of the time. Before long, the fad is over, the music is dismissed and their adolescent lives diverge. Two decades on, their music resurfaces online, unexpectedly gaining fans (including Alison Brie) and acclaim, drawing them back together. Blending home movies, diary entries and new interviews, Ayden Mayeri's directorial debut becomes a joyful and bittersweet reflection on friendship, memory and growing up, as they revisit the past, create new music and rediscover the bonds they never truly lost.
