Synopsis:
In 1966, in the midst of an identity crisis, John Lennon decides to end definitely with The Beatles and start a career as an actor. He arrives to Almería, Spain, to shoot an anti-war film: «Como Gané la Guerra». Antonio, an English teacher from a humble college in Albacete, Spain, decides to undertake a trip to meet the musician and make him an unusual request. Along the route, Antonio encounters Belén, a young girl that has escaped from the obscure seclusion that her family and the society have submitted her to. She is only 20 years old, but carries a past that keeps on haunting her. They both bump into Juanjo, a 16 year old teenager runway. Lennon will be a symbol of freedom, an aspiration. The trio will share days of adventure, which will be an analogy of a country that longs for a brighter future, in the 60’s, in the same places and days in which Lennon wrote «Strawberry Fields Forever».
