Hector (Coco)

A neglected man

Hector is one of the main characters of the drawing Coco of the studios whose history takes place in Mexico in the world of the dead during the famous festival of the dead. Miguel is a young boy with a passion for music who wants to participate in a music contest but doesn’t have his own guitar. His family has banished music since his great-great-grandfather abandoned his family to tour forever. Thinking he has discovered that the man in question is Ernesto, hero of the whole town, he enters his mausoleum and borrows his guitar. He finds himself transported to the world of the dead. To return to the world of the living before it is too late, a member of his dead family must sign an authorization, which they refuse to do if he does not commit himself to stop the music. He then crosses paths with Hector, who offers to help him find his ancestor Ernesto if he promises to display his photo on an altar at the next Festival of the Dead, the only condition necessary for him to visit the world of the living at the next Festival of the Dead. But he and Miguel soon discover that things were not what they thought.
