In the heartwarming dramady THE STARLING, after a married couple suffers a hardship, Jack
heads off to deal with grief while Lilly remains in the “real” world, dealing with her own guilt
and a crippling internal struggle to live with a dark secret. As if Lilly’s troubles weren’t bad
enough, a starling bird that has nested in her backyard begins to harass and attack her. This
starling comes to represent all of Lilly’s problems, and she becomes comically obsessed with
killing it. Lilly eventually finds guidance from Larry, a quirky psychologist-turned veterinarian
with a troubled past of his own. The two form a unique and unlikely friendship as both help the
other to explore, acknowledge and confront their problems
