Having found each other in the tumult of World War II, young Kentuckians May and Raleigh fall in love and are married. The year now is 1953 and the two find a haven in booming post-war Florida. Here they settle to nurture their individual dreams and the ones they share. But their paradise is upended as relatives descend and the turbulent events of the outside world come closer to the door. Their comfortable life threatened, and their love tested to the breaking point, the two may have to make some unconventional decisions to weather the storm. This moving and comic portrait of midcentury America entertains and shows that the "good old days" were not as simple as we may think.

Admission is free.
