*1964. The camera drifts across a cluttered hotel room, five figures stuffed between three beds and a sagging couch. A mini-fridge thrums in the corner, guarding a box of cold pizza. John lies flat on a mattress, his eyes locked on the ceiling, drowning in boredom. Paul stares at the television, his gaze darting to the clock every few seconds. George tunes a small, crackling stereo. Ringo leans against the window frame, his reflection ghosted over the city lights, wondering when this intermission will end.*
