ReplyDeleteA Day in the Life… A fictional set of stories based on the lyrics of the song. The main portion/lyrics come from a man reading the paper at breakfast table, and the events (lyrics in song) become small stories, that the film shows and follows in more detail. After each story is finished, it returns to the breakfast table reading on the next story. The film then goes into a dream sequence where “Woke Up fell out of bed”… is the next story, and after comes back to the man reading the paper at breakfast table, and final stories he reads are played out.

Like the train to Hogwarts, Penny Lane only appears to those savvy enough to find it. Once they do, they're transported back to a simpler time (early 1900s). The only problem is, there seems to be no way back! Our heroes (a cute young couple), quickly bored and lost without their I-Phones, must find the means to return to the 21st Century.
