The film "Dedicated to My Ex" follows the life of Ariel, a 21-year-old whose love life takes a dramatic turn when his girlfriend, Felicia, is set to leave for an internship in Finland. Faced with the possibility of losing Felicia forever, Ariel seeks a way to save their relationship and regain her affection. His brilliant yet desperate plan involves forming a rock band, hoping to win the grand prize of ten thousand dollars in a local music contest. This monetary reward could provide him the means to reignite their love, compelling him to rally his efforts into creating something extraordinary from scratch.
Teaming up with his best friend Ortega, who shares Ariel's enthusiasm despite a lack of musical expertise, the duo embarks on an unpredictable journey to cast members for the band. They hold auditions, bringing together an eclectic group of musicians who, despite their diverse and often conflicting personalities, form a unique ensemble.

As Ariel's vision begins to take shape, the group finds themselves bonding over their shared challenges and aspirations, ultimately discovering that their journey is about more than just the competition.

"Dedicated to My Ex" is infused with humor, emotion, and the spirit of youthful ambition, capturing the trials of maintaining relationships while chasing dreams in a vibrant and often chaotic world.
