Debut film from artist Sam Taylor-Wood, ‘Nowhere Boy’ charts the formative years of John Lennon.
From the age of five John is raised by his straight and respectable Aunt Mimi. But when he meets his mother, Julia, they form an instant bond. Then, when Julia takes him to see an Elvis film at the local cinema, John becomes a convert to rock'n'roll.
As the relationship between Mimi and Julia becomes fraught, John seeks refuge in his music and soon meets kindred spirit, Paul McCartney. But just as he sets out on his new life and begins to find his true voice, tragedy strikes.
