Every Day

Set in modern times, with current high school life, social media culture, and medical conversations around organ transplants and mental health. The daily swap of bodies places A within contemporary teen experiences—from school to parties to intimate moments—reflecting the immediacy of a connected era.

The story unfolds in a contemporary American setting, mainly in a suburban town where Rhiannon lives, with scenes at her family home and a rustic uncle’s cabin during a weekend trip. The narrative also travels to New York, providing a stark contrast between intimate home life and a busy urban backdrop. These locations serve as stages for A's daily body-shifts, shaping relationships and emotional stakes across familiar environments.

🔁 Identity

A’s constant body-swapping probes what it means to be oneself. The film treats identity as something carried by memories, decisions, and empathy rather than a fixed body. Each new life reframes how others see A and how A understands others, questioning the primacy of appearance.

💞 Love

Love in Every Day crosses bodies and gendered expectations, showing that emotional connection can persist beyond physical form. The evolving relationship between A and Rhiannon tests consent and respect, emphasizing care over possession. The story argues that love is rooted in shared experiences and genuine understanding.

🫀 Mortality

The narrative threads mortality and life-saving acts through moments like a near-lung transplant and the choice to keep a life intact when possible. A learns that changing bodies does not erase responsibility toward others. The film uses health crises to anchor its emotional stakes and ethical questions.

🏡 Family

Family dynamics—Rhiannon’s troubled home life, her mother and sister, and her father's mental health—shape the emotional landscape. The cabin trip, parental stress, and the desire for stability illustrate how family pressures influence decisions about love and identity. The tale uses intimate spaces to explore trust, privacy, and protection.
