Summary:

As 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, the US faces serious questions about the role of seniors in families, communities and society at large. Florida Water explores these issues through the parallel but divergent lives of two retired seniors, Boomer and David. Boomer is a second-generation German-American and a Vietnam vet; David is a devout Christian from rural Florida. They both live in Nalcrest, a Florida retirement community built by the letter carriers union in 1963. Nalcrest's working class demographics and labor union history suggest inclusiveness and solidarity, yet it is precisely the community's failures in this regard that make it a meaningful microcosm of American society through which to investigate retirement and aging.
