Ao chegar à nova faculdade, Beca descobre que não se dá com muita gente mas, por qualquer razão, é atraída para um grupo que nunca teria escolhido por si: ao lado de raparigas ruins, queridas e estranhas, que a única coisa que têm em comum é cantar bem quando estão juntas. Quando Beca leva este grupo de cantoras acústicas para fora do seu mundo de arranjos tradicionais e harmonias perfeitas, para um registo totalmente diferente, elas irão levar as cordas vocais ao limite para chegar ao topo do canto a cappella. O resultado pode ser a melhor coisa que alguma vez fizeram ou a mais louca… ou provavelmente um pouco de ambas.

Hollywood film music has its roots in Europe. Three composers who fled war and National Socialism to the USA created the sound that still shapes film music today: Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Max Steiner and Franz Waxman. In the early 20th century, these classically trained composers transformed the methods acquired in Vienna and Berlin into a new American art form: film music. They balanced the relationship between image and sound and developed techniques and dramaturgical tricks to achieve the greatest possible effect on the viewer. Their influence is visible in the work of contemporary US composers such as John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith. Today, Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi and Harold Faltermeyer continue this tradition. Their melodies are part of humanity's collective memory and reflect the combined traditions of European and American musical history. The documentary accompanies composers in their work and explores the European roots of Hollywood.
