Nowhere Boy (2009)
Liverpool in den Fünfzigern: John Lennon 15 Jahre alt und von der Schule genervt, fällt zu Hause bei seiner strengen Tante Mimi die Decke auf den Kopf. Eines Tages trifft John jedoch seine Mutter Julia wieder, die den Fünfjährigen damals überstürzt verlassen hatte. Die lebenslustige, musikbegeisterte Frau führt John in die aufregende neue Welt des Rock'n'Roll ein und bringt ihm das Banjospielen bei - nicht ahnend, dass sie damit den Grundstein für Lennons späteren Lebensweg legt. John gründet eine Band und lernt über Freunde den talentierten Gitarristen Paul McCartney kennen. Doch der Spagat zwischen seinen musikalischen Ambitionen und den zwei starken Frauen in seinem Leben wird für Lennon zur Zerreißprobe ...
