Amidst the holiday festivities, the girls defy Chocolandia‘s ban on music and explore its hidden underground world, reveling in the freedom of music, song, and diversity, but also confronting pain and jealousy.
As Sophie becomes increasingly envious of Ginger‘s romantic advances toward Sam, tension rises. When Sophie‘s secret visits to the underground are exposed, she betrays Ginger in desperation.
