Some Kind of Heaven

Welcome to The Villages in central Florida, the largest retirement community in the world. Pitched as a literal fountain of youth complete with golf carts, canasta games and singles mixers. It is a chance for retirees to live the American Dream in their golden years. But while most of “the Villagers” have bought into the packaged positivity, Barbara, Dennis, Anne and Reggie - the four protagonists of this documentary - each struggle to find their footing in this “Disneyland for Retirees,” as they seek connection, love and meaning.

In his feature debut, filmmaker Lance Oppenheim delicately balances the humor and absurdity of an outlandish setting with the deeply human experiences of those living within it.
