StarIet expIores the unIikely friendship between 21 year-old aspiring actress Jane and eIderly widow Sadie after their worlds collide in CaIifornia's San Fernando VaIley. Jane spends her time getting high with her dysfunctional roommates and taking care of her hihuahua StarIet, while Sadie passes her days aIone, tending to her garden. After a confrontation at a yard saIe, Jane finds something unexpected in a relic from Sadie's past. Her curiosity piqued, she tries to befriend the caustic older woman. Secrets emerge as their reIationship grows, reveaIing that nothing is ever as it seems.
