Trama:
Anni '60. Un giovane inglese parte per l'America, alla ricerca del padre emigrato tanti anni prima. Una volta negli Stati Uniti, s'innamora di una ragazza, Lucy, il cui fratello viene richiamato alle armi ed arruolato per andare a combattere in Vietnam. I due innamorati allora si fanno coinvolgere pienamente dai movimenti pacifisti che nascono nel periodo, diventandone convinti attivisti. La storia di questi due giovani viene raccontata attraverso 33 canzoni dei Beatles, rivisitate e cantate dagli stessi attori protagonisti del film...
