Synopsis:
“It’s all about the ice cream…” is the motto at FLOAT ice cream parlor, the
centerpiece of this quirky comedy/drama with a unique visual style and hip
soundtrack.
On this particular summer, things are running smoother than ever, thanks in
part to the obsessive owner RAY FULTON (50’s), and his loyal staff, which
includes GEVORG (the slick Manager), and RAMON, (a lowly but
enthusiastic underling).
The smooth running operation is disturbed one afternoon as RAMON gets
into an altercation at work, and FULTON is forced to terminate his
employment. Broke and with no where to go, RAMON is offered a free
room by GEVORG until he gets back on his feet. During that same week,
FULTON’S long-time wife, for reasons of her own, decides to leave and file
for legal separation. FULTON, shocked and dismayed, turns to GEVORG
for support. Thus, these 3 oddballs find themselves thrown together by fate,
and forced to contend with each other’s personal issues.
Things get further complex as FULTON’s daughter EMILY comes to town in
an effort to reconcile her parent’s relationship. But while FULTON is pre-
occupied with re-discovering his identity, EMILY forges an unlikely bond
with GEVORG, which in turn causes GEVORG to re-examine his rowdy
lifestyle.
Meanwhile, desperate for income, RAMON considers entering a “sham
green card marriage” with SUSANNAH, a beautiful Armenian girl; however,
RAMON’s feelings for her are authentic, and his perspective becomes
further clouded when he realizes that he has more chemistry with
SUSANNAH’s best friend, TAMI.
Told against the backdrop of the City of Glendale in scenic Southern
California, “FLOAT” is an amusing and sometimes moving story of several
very different people trying to connect with each other, and ultimately with
themselves, in this lyrical film that demonstrates how “sometimes your
friends are your family”.
