75' - 2000 - Drama - Dialogue: German
It’s 1980 in a small town somewhere in West Germany. Summer vacation has just started and the days seem long for Tobias (12), a raving Beatles-fan. One fine day a mysterious man appears in town, driving a white VW Beetle, apparently English, with steering wheel on the right-hand side. Tobias is convinced that he has seen the licence plate on the car before. Going through his LP’s, he finds his suspicions confirmed: It is the beetle shown on the ‘Abbey Road’ cover. His detective instincts aroused, he discovers a strange story which happened in 1966: Paul McCartney died under mysterious circumstances and was replaced with a double by his manager, Brian Epstein. All the elements seem to match and Tobias starts to investigate the case, believing he is confronted with Paul McCartney’s killer...
