This is just one of several questions posed by director Jessica Leski in her debut film as she attempt to explore not only the appeal of boy bands but also what sparks such devotion in their fanbases. This she achieves by following four intergenerational women who all consider themselves to be obsessed fans of their chosen boy band. We also look at the rise of the fan cruise, Chinese Talent shows and maybe just reveal our own favourite boybands!
