He can’t help himself and has to play one of his own, the result being he is immediately fired. (PLOT SPOILERS IN THIS PARAGRAPH) Mia accidentally wanders into a restaurant where Sebs is forced to play cheesy Christmas music. The film is structured around the seasons and we see the lovers’ relationship grow in the vibrant colors and fun backdrops. We follow their courtship and the tensions that grow out of Mia’s frustration with her career and Sebs’ aimless idealism towards his music. Despite experiencing the lows that the real world delivers, both Mia and Sebs are dreamers, desiring the shiny futures they imagine, now made more shimmering because of finding each other. Sebs is a jazz pianist, stubborn and sworn to defend “real jazz” and lament its loss in today’s society. She auditions where there are dozens of young women just like her (perhaps prettier) and where she is ignored and dismissed in the few seconds she is permitted to act. Mia is a wannabe actress whose connection to Hollywood is principally her job as a barista on a movie lot and an attendant at parties.

But at this moment Mia is rehearsing for an audition and Sebs honks in frustration and pulls ahead while she gives him the finger. There we meet the soon-to-be lovers, Mia and Sebs (Sebastian). A gridlocked freeway on a bright sunny day has motorists stepping out of their cars, but in “La La Land,” they burst into a song and dance number in celebration of the day.
The film begins with an opening scene familiar to L.A.
