Negli anni sessanta, il giovane Jude lascia Liverpool, dove lavora nei cantieri navali, per cercare il padre emigrato negli Stati Uniti. Lì verrà a contatto con realtà nuove per lui, come i movimenti pacifisti, l'amore libero, la musica, ma soprattutto conoscerà l'amore per la bella Lucy. I due giovani avranno una storia, si uniranno al Dr. Robert e a Mr. Kite per lottare nei movimenti pacifisti e controculturali, dopo che il fratello di Lucy, Max, viene arruolato per combattere nella guerra in Vietnam, ma i tumulti che ne verranno divideranno i due amanti, che si ritroveranno alla fine del film.
