"Mulholland Drive" tells its story through a non-linear narrative, a hallmark of Lynch's storytelling style. The film revolves around Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), a young and aspiring actress from the suburbs who arrives in Los Angeles with dreams bigger than the city itself. Upon her arrival, she befriends and shares an apartment with a mysterious amnesiac woman named Diane (also played by Naomi Watts), who is somehow connected to a dark underworld involving a corrupt businessman named Mr. Roque (Robert Blake). The protagonist's path crosses with that of a tormented Hollywood director, Rupert Grady (Boyd Atkin), and a complex narrative involving love, identity, and the price of fame.
