Cocoon
Plot
-A group of aliens come to Earth to retrieve some pods containing people they'd left behind from a previous trip. These cocoons have been in eternal peace at the bottom of the ocean. Once they are retrieved, they are placed at the bottom of an abandoned swimming pool, conveniently next to a retirement home in a small Florida town. Their mission to rescue these pods is held back by a group of elderly retirees who are using the pool and somehow discover that these aliens give the retirees energy and essentially help keep them young

I'm a girl born in the wrong decade. I belong in the 1960s or the 1970s in my opinion. I bleed tie dye, my theme music is anything 1960s rock or 1970s rock or metal. I'm a hippie through and through. But also a hippie who loves old metal music. I believe that violence never solves anything, so why resort to it to solve problems? With all the wars the world has seen, there should be a clue somewhere in there!
