Spain, 1966. Antonio teaches English in a small public school by using lyrics from Beatles songs, so when he learns that Lennon is filming in the Almeria section of Spain, he decides to take a journey to meet his idol. Along the way he meets Belen, a 20-year-old pregnant girl reluctantly planning to go home to her family, and Juanjo, a teenage boy fleeing an overbearing father who disapproves of his Beatles haircut. Antonio offers to take them along on his odyssey, and the three pilgrims form a friendly bond when they set up residence in a modest farmhouse set in those strawberry fields.
