Star-crossed immigrant lovers roam their gated community drink-by-drink in search of the perfect house. Set present-day in a Midwestern gated community, residents Nijm and Irina discover all of their neighbors have gone "snowbirding" for the winter. They hatch a devious plan to ditch work and set out to tour the whole nieghborhood, visiting every single empty house for a drink. With each visit, a new drink is poured and startling revelations of their relationship are revealed... until their once idyllic suburban life becomes uprooted for good. (Cinequest Festival)
