A documentary film about a summer place in Michigan that has continued to thrive for six generations. The film explores the impacts of history, anti-semitism and the oppression of the Chicago summer heat, combined with a common desire to be amongst friends and family in a community lakeside setting. It's the beach, the sunsets, the friendships, the dirt roads and blue moon ice cream that seals the bonds between those who reside in Mt. Pleasant Subdivision. Come on the journey of history, storytelling and heart that shines through those involved in this uplifting film.
