Synopsis
Snowbirds is about retired Québécois who choose to live in Florida in order to escape the roughness of Québec winters. Tenderly and humoristically, this film focuses on a reality that is often misrepresented by immerging the spectator in the typical universe of mobile and motorized homes that form Fort Lauderdale. A world where flamingos and French language rule.
This intimate documentary highlights colorful elders who migrate to the tropics in search of a leisure society that will entertain them.
Welcome to Florida’s French district, in the paradise of snowbird.
