The film shows how Beatles shaped a generation behind the Iron Curtain. Director Leslie Woodhead filmed the band in Liverpool’s Cavern Club in 1962 and later, working in Russia, discovered their music had become a soundtrack for Soviet youth. Interviews include Sergei Ivanov, who says the Beatles inspired his English studies and opened his imagination.
