Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed

Antonio teaches English in a small public school by using lyrics from the Beatles’ songs. When he learns that Lennon is filming in Almeria, in Spain, he decides to take on a journey to meet his idol. Along his way he meets Belen, a 20 years-old pregnant girl reluctantly planning to go home to her family, and Juanio, a teenage boy fleeing an overbearing father who disapproves of his Beatles haircut. Antonio offers to take them along on his odyssey.
The film is a touching tribute to a time when the Beatles offered brand new possibilities: the idea that strawberry fields may indeed go on forever.
