*¡PAN!*, or *BREAD!* in English, is a story following el muchacho -- and eventually many more -- on a quest for bread.

## Plot

We start on el muchacho, staring down at a gross bowl of soup. Look over we see his family, eating bread. El muchacho requests for some bread, but his mom tells him to eat the soup. Upon closer inspection, el muchacho finds a bare chicken bone in the soup. Disturbed, he decides not to and continues to request bread, but his mom -- clearly agitated -- tells him she said no. Frustrated, el muchacho jams his fork into the table and walks out.

Cut to a restaurant. El muchacho confidently strides in with some friends and sits down at a table. They're handed menus, and asked their order. Knowing what they want, they throw their menus away and demand bread. La mesera leaves to brings back their order, however comes back with something they're not expecting.

She comes back with salsa and chips, which they all object to. She explains, saying that they're a Mexican restaurant and don't carry bread. They don't accept this however, and demand to be brought their bread. La mesera gets fed up and leaves them, however they get up and follow her. She's backed up against a wall, being demanded bread from when she asks if they want guacamole. None of them do, and demand to be brought bread along with the other restaurant patrons. With no other option, they all decide all they can do is go somewhere else. They leave, singing about their desire for bread.

## Production

*¡PAN!*'s first release would be October 5, 2010 in Wooly's second album "Billy la Bufanda Presenta Mas Amigos." The video would be shot June to July 2011. All the dining room scenes would be shot in Wooly's own dining room, while all the restaurant scenes would be filmed at Lalo's Mexican Restaurant in Glenview, IL. The original singers in the song were Wooly's ex-students that had graduated 2 years ago, so Hunter B. and Nick T. had to be played by Roger B. and Samir G, however Ruby S. was able to return. The original actor for el muchacho's dad had to quit, so he was replaced by Wooly last minute. Notable events during filming include the contraption that made the soup bubble broke, making the substance (dish soap and red food coloring) leak everywhere. The video would be released September 15th, 2011.
