Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
This sophisticated Spanish romantic comedy charts
the course of a long-time on-again-off again love affair between Diana
Balaguer and Santi Garcia. The story begins at a sumptuous dinner party for
the King of Spain. There the beauteous Diana Balaguer makes eye contact with
security guard Santi Garcia, and suddenly faints dead away. The story fades
from 1996 to 1966, and the film switches from color to black-and-white. Diana
is a teenager with a terrible crush on Beatle
John Lennon.
She sneaks into his room and hides under the bed when
Lennon
arrives with a groupie. Diana is shocked to find herself hiding beside the
handsome Santi. As
Lennon and
the groupie begin making out, so do the youngsters beneath them. Thus begins
their sporadic affair. Over its course, Diana reveals her ambitions to become
a society hostess. Unfortunately, Santi simply wants to settle down, get
married and raise children. Their differences cause the lovers to drift apart.
By the time the film returns to the present tense, both lovers have undergone
major changes.
