The Emancipation of Mimi

Miguel is 9 years old and obsessed with singer Mariah Carey. He goes to a Catholic school and one day his class is challenged by the nuns to sell calendars of the Virgin Mary. When he finds out that he won't be able to keep the profits from the calendar sales like he thought, he decides to take action. Like some kind of miracle, his favorite singer is going to perform in his hometown.
