Los Angeles, the city where dreams are made - or broken. Mulholland Drive (2001) begins as an apparent search for identity and truth, but it soon becomes clear that nothing is what it seems. The story revolves around Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), an ambitious actress full of hope and optimism, who has just arrived in Hollywood. Betty meets Rita (Laura Harring), a mysterious woman with amnesia after a car accident on the iconic Mulholland Drive. Together, they try to unravel the puzzle of Rita's past, but the deeper they dig, the stranger and darker the story becomes.
