Storyline
Melanie “Galleria” Garibaldi, Galleria, Chanel, Dorinda, and Aqua—better known as the New York teen vocal sensation The Cheetah Girls—anticipate a quiet summer before their senior year. Realizing their individual ambitions might fray their collective group bond, Chanel’s mother plots a trip to Barcelona, Spain. Seeing a golden opportunity, Galleria secretly registers the band’s data assets into the prestigious Barcelona International New Music Festival. Traveling across Europe, the quartet finds their unity lifestyle-locked by new individual romances, internal creative changes, and a fierce, highly manufactured tracking rivalry with glamorous local pop star Marisol Durán.
