Gloriosi, eleganti, poetici, potenti, refrattari a piegarsi ai dettami delle mode, della critica e dei fan, hanno attraversato trent'anni di carriera inseguendo sempre e soltanto la loro ispirazione e il desiderio di battere terreni inesplorati e mai scontati.

Mara e Alberto sono sposati dal 1976 e si dividono tra vita domestica, cellulari smarriti, la spesa al supermercato di sabato pomeriggio, gli impegni di lavoro, l'educazione delle figlie, la gioia dei nipotini, i rapporti con la suocera, il burraco con gli amici (o con l'iPad), gli acciacchi. Un po' come tutte le coppie rodate. Però Mara e Alberto non sono una coppia normale, checché ne dicano loro. Perché lei è la Mara Maionchi, discografica che ha lanciato talenti come Tiziano Ferro e Gianna Nannini, famosa per i suoi modi diretti e le sue esternazioni senza filtro.
