Directed by Sam Taylor Wood

An entertaining and thought provoking chronicle of John Lennon’s childhood as he grew up in the shattered city of Loverpool. Two sisters tussle for his love – Mimi, the aunt who raised him, and Julia, the free-spirited mother who gave him up to Mimi’s care. Yearning for a normal family, John escapes into art and the new music flooding in from the U.S. His fledgling genius finds a kindred spirit in the young Paul McCartney. But just as John’s new life begins, the truth about his past leads to a tragedy he would never escape.
