In the San Fernando Valley, an unlikely bond develops between a gorgeous and generous layabout (Mariel Hemingway’s daughter Dree) and a cantankerous octogenarian ("newcomer" Besedka Johnson). Sean Baker’s rapturously shot, always enthralling surprise of a feature observes these two women inhabit their spaces, and meditates on the true meaning of friendship.
