In 1966, John Lennon finds himself grappling with a profound existential crisis, contemplating the possibility of leaving the iconic Beatles behind for good. In search of new beginnings, he ventures to Almeria, a picturesque town in southern Spain, to shoot Richard Lester’s anti-war black comedy, How I Won the War.
