Disguised as a documentary set in the The Villages, an idyllic, fast-growing retirement community in Florida, this is really more of an effective commentary on mental illness. The three characters are unable to truly enjoy the privileged resources surrounding them because they refuse to let go of their baggage, and the fourth one is merely a cheat and doesn't really belong here. The Villages has become very popular over the years because it offers a positive way to spend the last years of life - so many resources, so many activities, so many events, so many potential friends. Any thankful person with self-respect would want to take advantage of such things and engage in stimulating activities for their health and well-being as they ride off into the sunset. The ones who would squander all of this away haven't already learned in their late years that the key to happiness is letting go. But then again, not injecting some crisis and conflict into this staged documentary would make it really boring.
