Ten years after the World War II, an American invention called rock ‘n roll sweeps
Liverpool. Dozens of bands appear playing the new rhythm.

Four teenagers from working class Liverpool get together in a new band first in
England, then around the world.
They create a new kind of rock’ n’ roll and the Beatlemania. Thousands of teenagers
cry, shout, and faint for them.
In 1970 Paul McCartney announces the end of the band due to tensions and personal
differences.
More than three decades after the end of the group, teenagers around the world still
sing the Beatles songs.
