No, it’s not Beatles trivia time, but the title of this cracking little Spanish movie set in Franco’s Spain in the 60s, and what a film it is.

Antonio (Javier Camara) is teaching his kids English using Beatles lyrics and makes a pilgrimage to Almeria, the Spanish town where they’re shooting ‘How I Won The War’ to meet John Lennon (which is apparently based on a true story – Lennon wrote Strawberry Fields in Spain).

On the way he picks up Belen, a young pregnant girl who is escaping a nunnery, and Juanjo, who’s run away from home and his autocratic cop father who doesn’t like his Beatles haircut. They stop in a one-donkey town while they plot their next moves and learn a little more about themselves.

Like Antonio, this is a quirky funny little film with a lot of character and Camara embodies the whole film (he was the nurse in Amoldovar’s ‘Talk to Her’). He’s determined, driven and a little loopy – like many Beatle fans I know – and has immense charm.

This ia a feel good story and one you don’t have to be a Beatles fan to enjoy. It has deservedly won a magical busload of GOYA awards (Spanish version of the Oscars) as the directing and acting are top class (Francesc Colomer and Natalia de Molina are great as the two kids) and look out for the strawberry motif which keeps appearing. We also get an idea of what living under a dictatorship is like, without being battered by it.

This film has a very light touch, the scenery is as great as the soundtrack -which is a beauty – and the ending is surprising and satisfying and will leave you with a warm smile. Catch it from next Thursday.
