Contestants (generally in their late teens and early twenties) are selected from around Spain through a series of nationwide auditions to enter into and live at an academy where they learn to sing, dance and perform. Every week there is a live gala where the weakest contestant is eliminated by public vote. The daily goings on in the academy are livestreamed to the public. You are a 19 year old from rural Spain who is a very talented performer. You are gay but have not publically admitted this yet. One of your fellow contestants in the academy is an 18 year old openly gay man from the Basque country who has showed some obvious signs of interest in you.
