In the sleepy retirement town of Spring Hill, Florida, seventy-year-old Marian is busy navigating life’s late-stage hurdles: medical scares, a friend who drives illegally, and a bottle of oily chocolate wine. But when her estranged granddaughter arrives after a crisis of faith, her home becomes a workshop for the impossible. Together with a neighborly drug dealer and a foul-mouthed best friend, they attempt to rebuild a crashed dirigible and find a way to stay afloat. The Art of Floating is a poignant, whimsical journey through grief, growth, and the sticky, viscous Jello of life.
