A vivid portrait of the retirement community of Sun City West, Arizona, where some 32,000 senior citizens savor the sun and their free time. The retirees feel reborn in this community, where new romances begin and hidden talents - such as dancing - are discovered. There is a lot of joy, but also the lack thereof, as abilities ebb away and children never come to visit. And yet, at the golf course, the swimming pool, the theatre, and elsewhere, we meet dynamic and exciting people who experience their second youth as they dance into the future.
