“Where am I going?”

Everyday Life explores this question with the story of an “ordinary” retired couple as they confront the challenges of aging and serious illness. At a point when many assume that life goes only downhill, Everyday Life proposes that it is best lived with courage and decency every day.

Charlie and Bella each struggle with loss of independence, but together find renewed strength in their love. Over the course of an unexpectedly difficult year, they navigate giving up driving, downsizing, moving to a senior community, memory loss, hallucination, and stroke. With guidance from their caregiver and frequently conflicting advice from their children, friends, and an Administrator bent on separating them, they not only survive, but thrive in “everyday life” together.
