Almeria Spain, 1966: John Lennon is suffering an existential crisis, and has decided he’s ready to launch his acting career, and leaves the Beatles. Lennon arrives in Almeria to shoot the war movie “How I won the war” under the direction of Richard Lester. Antonio, an English teacher who teaches in a state school in Albacete, decides to travel to Almeria to meet John Lennon and make him an unusual offer.
En route, Antonio finds Belen and Juanjo. Belen is running away from the turmoil and reclusive life her family and society have forced upon her, leaving a convent in the middle of the night. Antonio and Belen then encounter Juanjo, a 16 year old teenager who has fled his house in the middle of an argument with his father because he won’t cut his hair – he looks like a Beatle.
For the three of them, Lennon will be a symbol of freedom and also an aspiration. The three characters will share an adventure that represented the symbol of a country that aspired to a better future in the beauty and provincial Almeria of the 60s, in the same places and days in which Lennon wrote the song “Strawberry Fields Forever”.
Based on a true story.
