The film consists of two components. One tells of the five member Moss
family who have just moved from the city into a brand new suburban
development. The narrative is set in the Evergreen suburb of Calgary,
Alberta. The family discuss and portray life in the suburbs, and the
various flaws and advantages of modern suburban life, with a
considerably greater emphasis on the flaws. While the characters and
instances in the movie are fictional, the actors that play them all do
live in real suburban areas.
Interspersed with this narrative, experts speak to the camera about
their views of the suburbs. These include Joseph Heath, Mark Kingwell,
James Howard Kunstler, and Beverly Sandalack[1] . These portions are
filmed in different suburban areas of North America, including
Oakville, Ontario.
