I did watch it. Maybe one of the few of us who actually did.
The movie was advertised as a documentary. Spoiler alert..It's not.
3 main characters.
Character one is a guy in late 70's who is living in his van. His goal is to find a rich widow. Unfortunatly all of them easily see thru is ruse and at the end of this, surprise....he's still living in his van.
Character two centered around a couple also in their 70's. She is what I would call a normal Villager. However she is married to basically a drug addict. Most of their story centers around his drug problems and his pending court date on drug charges.
Character three is a nice shy woman who is widowed. Her story centers around her struggles to socialize in a community where most are married there are many more single women than men.
So 150,000 Villagers....and somehow this is a snapshot of life here?!?!? To be honest, other than the widow I've never met any characters like what was portrayed in this...whatever it was. Maybe I need to get out more!
