Even John Lennon didn't know he would be John Lennon. In the mid-1950s, 15-year-old John wasn't a revolutionary musician. Was he artistic and smart? Absolutely. But his foul mouth and wild streak camouflaged the scared little boy whose parents abandoned him as a small child, leaving him in the care of his strict Aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas). When John spots his mother (Anne-Marie Duff) at a funeral and learns she is living just around the corner, a chain of emotional events ensues that culminates in revelations of family secrets, heartbreak and the formation of John's first rock 'n' roll band.
