Plot: The film opens with a solitary figure, Jude (Jim Sturgess), sitting on a quiet beach front. He is singing "Girl" with a melancholy air, while looking off into the distant horizon. It's the end of the work day as Jude lines up with his fellow shipyard hands for their day's wages. After receiving payment from the old man in charge, Jude walks back home, smiling along the way.

As he leaves, "Hold Me Tight" begins, while we flash to an idealistic prom scene, where Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) dances along with her boyfriend Daniel (Spencer Liff) and their high-school classmates. A classic band plays along, as Lucy sings to Daniel "Tell me I'm the only one..."

In another part of the world, another couple in Liverpool is singing the same song as they dance at a dark underground Liverpool bar - a reference to "The Cavern Club," where the Beatles began its career. Jude holds his girlfriend (Lisa Hogg) as she sings "Let me go on loving you." Ambling along a dark and damp street after leaving the bar, Jude and his girlfriend hold hands and trip along the cobblestone. They stop to kiss along the road, as she tells Jude not to forget her while he is in America. He laughs and consoles her, singing "While I'm away, I'll write home everyday, and I'll send all my loving to you." While Jude continues to sing "All My Loving," he packs his bag, kisses his mom (Angela Mounsey) goodbye, and heads off to the docks to board a ship to America, seeking out his estranged father in New Jersey.
