Durban Today writes:

'Florida Road' tells the story of 'Shaan', a mid 20's Indian man with a heart of gold and a desire to write the next great Hollywood screenplay. Shaan and his two brothers, (Sanjay & Mani) moved to Durban with their parents from Mumbai, India, who wanted to provide a better life and career opportunities for their children. Shaan has yet to succeed largely because of the struggles he has in understanding the relationships with the people closest to him… especially his father and his eldest brother, Sanjay. When an untimely health issue hits the family, secrets are exposed and Shaan is forced to come to terms with life itself. The movie is a heartfelt story about love, culture, family values and following your dreams.
