In 1960's Liverpool, Brian Epstein encounters a rock band that would take the world by storm. Negotiating on pure instinct, this music entrepreneur ends up managing The Beatles, and other greats like Cilia Black and Gerry and the Pacemakers. His rise to prominence is a story of passion, drive, love, and loss, and ultimately, tragedy. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd has a star turn as the complex Epstein, and Jay Leno makes a surprise cameo!

Forced into the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp at the age of 12, Herbert Heller managed to escape three years later and kept the secret from everyone-including his own children-for 60 years. Now in California, and the owner of a toy store, Herbert befriends Abbey, an isolated teenager whose own brush with pain and death inspires Herbert to open up. Laugh, smile, and maybe have the Kleenex on hand for this beautiful and heartwarming film about an unlikely intergenerational friendship walking on a mutual path toward healing.
