1º – Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed (David Trueba, 2013)
Spain, 1966. An English teacher finds himself on a contract, crossing the country by car, behind the chance to meet his idol John Lennon. In this journey, the teacher ends up coming across two teenagers, on the road for different reasons, and decides to give them a ride. Then begins the most significant journey of the life of the three. The film works very much with the notion of hope inserted in those characters, besides making a parallel between the innocence of the trip and the personal conflicts contained in each of them.
