More information
- Alert
"This original musical film is a fictional love story set in the 1960's amid Beatles music, the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio, to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, the killing fields of Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and painted and three-dimensional animation, the film is paired with many Beatles songs that defined the time." - Baker & Taylor
A British boy and an American girl fall in love during the anti-war protests, rock and roll revolution, and other social upheavals of the 1960s.
