The Florida Suite is a poetic documentary set entirely to a four-movement musical composition of the same name by Frederick Delius.   The award-winning film centers on the life of retired attorney turned citrus farmer, Andrew Graham, as he takes care of  his mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He is determined that she will live out her days in the beauty and safety of the grove.

 

The film also pays tribute to the music of Frederick Delius, who came to Florida from England in 1884.  The 22-year-old was so moved by the beauty of Florida that he became a composer. His first major work, the four-movement symphonic suite, Florida, forms the very structure of the film.
