Trailer for Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed.
Spain, 1966: Antonio (Javier Cámara, from "I’m So Excited!") is a teacher and a Beatles fan – facets he combines by getting his pupils to recite the lyrics from Help in English class. When he learns that his idol John Lennon is making a film in Almería (Richard Lester’s "How I Won the War") he resolves to meet him.
On the journey he picks up two young runaways: Bethlehem, a pregnant girl fleeing a convent, and Juanjo, a boy escaping a dictatorial father. “Living is easy with eyes closed,” from Lennon’s Strawberry Fields Forever, evokes both the spirit of the ’60s and the mood of the film, which is both a lively review of a sad past and a positive road movie set during a time in Spanish history when dreams seemed impossible.
