La La Land

In present-day Los Angeles, Mia, an aspiring actress working as a barista between failed auditions, crosses paths with Sebastian, a jazz pianist clinging to his dream of opening his own club despite the genre's fading popularity. Their initial friction gives way to a passionate romance, each pushing the other to chase their ambitions with newfound courage. But as Sebastian joins a successful touring band for financial stability and Mia's career finally begins to take off, the demands of their individual dreams start pulling them in different directions. Told across the seasons with musical numbers that blend fantasy and reality, their love story becomes a bittersweet meditation on the sacrifices required to pursue one's passions — and whether love can survive when both people get everything they wished for.
