Synopsis

Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed (2013) — original title Vivir es fácil con los ojos cerrados — is a Spanish road comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Written and directed by David Trueba, it took home five Goya Awards including Best Film and Best Original Screenplay.

Spain, 1966. An English teacher named Antonio drives across the country to Almería after hearing that John Lennon is on location shooting a film there. He is not going for an autograph — he uses Lennon's lyrics in his classroom and wants official permission to keep doing it. Along the way he picks up two strangers: a teenage boy who ran away from a reformatory and a young woman running from something she won't name.

Javier Cámara plays Antonio as a genuinely decent person, which is harder to make compelling than it sounds. The film earns its warmth by staying small and specific. Stream Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed (2013) online on iFILM.
