It’s visually lovely, and the performances are subtle, sunny and sympathetic. Camara lends a playful touch to Antonio’s Beatle-mania.

Spain, 1966. An English teacher and rabid Beatles fan travels to Almería when he hears that John Lennon is making a film there. On the way, he befriends a 16-year-old boy who has run away from home and a young girl who also seems to be running away from something.

The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Farber
This small gem offers a lovely evocation of Spain as well as a touching tribute to an unforgettable moment in time when the Beatles seemed to offer brand new possibilities, the idea that strawberry fields might indeed go on forever.
