Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed (Spanish: Vivir es facil con los ojos cerrados) is a 2013 Spanish comedy-drama film written and directed by David Trueba, and starring Javier Camara. The film's title comes from a lyric in the song "Strawberry Fields Forever", from the Beatles. The film won six Goya Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Writing and Best Leading Actor. The plot: It is 1966 in Albacete, an English teacher and die-hard Beatles fan Antonio (played by Javier Camara) decides to go on a road trip to Almera in the hope of meeting John Lennon, who is shooting How I Won the War there under the direction of Richard Lester. On the way he picks up two hitch-hikers, Juanjo (Francesc Colomer) and Belan (Natalia de Molina), and the unlikely trio follow their dreams and look for their own freedom.
