Five actors perform the famous Montreal «Bed-in for peace». In 1969, Yoko Ono and John Lennon spent a week wearing pyjamas in bed, in Elizabeth Hotel, room 1742, to protest against Vietnam War, racial violence, etc.
In an atmosphere of artistic performance, five actors replay Yoko Ono and John Lennon's pacifist messages. To debate and share their ideas, the couple settled a week in a bed in 1969, in room 1742 of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, surrounded by stars, journalists, intellectuals and students. A crusade for world peace to try to change public opinion about the Vietnam War, racial violence, generational conflict and so much more. Beyond words, this political bed-in was also a moment of intense artistic creation, composing and recording songs, drawing pictures and imagining slogans, and a thinking about place of artists in society.
