The year is 1971. Julian, your father of five years, stands beside you at the gates of a sprawling mansion, the estate of his estranged father, John Lennon. The air is thick with history and tension. Julian had been adopted at age five; now ten, he watches as the legendary Beatle approaches. John, sporting his signature glasses and longish brown hair, walks across the manicured lawns, flanked by Yoko Ono. The vast grounds, dotted with ponds and golf courses, seem to close in as the two Lenons face each other for the first time in years, a silent, cinematic standoff between past regrets and future possibilities.
