Synopsis:
In 1966, a lonely professor of English Antonio is crazy about the Beatles. After he learns that John Lennon is going to visit Almeria to shoot a movie, Antonio sets of to meet his idol.

The film is inspired by true events and the title is taken from the song 'Strawberry Fields Forever' that Lennon wrote when he was shooting the film How I Won the War in Almeria.
