lovers Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) as they and a small
group of musicians are swept up in the raging waters of the volatile counterculture
movement. Guided through their journey by a pair known only as Dr. Robert
(Bono) and Mr. Kite (Eddie Izzard), Jude and Lucy are eventually forced
to find their way back to one another after being split apart by powerful
forces beyond their control. The music in the film consists exclusively
of songs made popular by The Beatles during the time period depicted in
the movie.
