A documentary film about happiness and the meaning of one’s life as told through four people living in the world’s largest retirement community, The Villages, Florida. While most residents have bought into the community's packaged, isolated happiness, married couple Anne and Reggie wrestle with his deteriorating grip on reality and drug use; Barbara, a widow, seeks second love; and Dennis, an 82-year-old bachelor living out of a van, searches for a wealthy woman to take care of him for his remaining years. Directed by Lance Oppenheim, in his debut as a feature film director.
