Behind the gates of a palm tree-lined fantasyland, four residents of America's largest retirement community, The Villages, FL, strive to find solace and meaning.
America's seniors have discovered the fountain of youth. It's in The Villages - America's largest retirement community in Florida. Home to over 130,000 seniors, The Villages offers residents a utopian version of the American yesteryear - wide, safe streets, perfectly manicured lawns, and countless activities all in service of enjoying their golden years. This documentary invests in the dreams and desires of a small group of residents - and one interloper - who are unable to find happiness within the community's pre-packaged paradise.
