In a desolate stretch of the Sahara, a mysterious car accident leaves a young woman lost and alone. Jake, a reclusive architect, finds her unconscious. He drives her to the nearest doctor, to discover that she's suffering from post-traumatic amnesia. Intoxicated by the woman's beauty, Jake claims to be her husband. He names her Kitty and takes her to his remote desert home to recuperate. As Kitty struggles to come to grips with who she is, Jake invents an elaborate life they can share -- the life he has always yearned for. Little by little, Kitty begins to fall in love with him. But when shreds of her past begin to surface, Jake increasingly lives in fear of losing the love of his life.
Director's Statement
My first feature film as a director, YOU GO TO MY HEAD grew out of my life-long passion for the cinema and my convictions regarding the art and craft of filmmaking. As a producer, I have always championed an independent cinema that remains true to the director's personal vision, yet aims to reach and touch as wide an audience as possible. A lean form of filmmaking, with a compact crew passionately committed to making a film of quality and substance. So I launched this project with those notions in mind.
