It's Happiness - A Polka Documentary is about coming of age or more appropriately about coming of old age. While many "elders" resoprt to a queter life in their later years, these "polka people" refuse to surrender to the inevitable constraints of aging. While the polka crowds are eager to show their enjoyment and dedication of their dance, one question remains: "In 20 years, who will run the dance halls, perform in the bands, and pounce the floors?" Polka Boosters President, John Pinter clutches to a hint of hope in the current, yet underground younger generation who instead of going to the local mall on Saturday night, proceed to the nearest polka event. As John's story unwinds, we see how the "polka people" use this music to live rather than just be alive.
