Storyline

Over a period of five years Karen takes her four young children on the long and laborious journey to visit her husband Ian, who is imprisoned for an unspecified crime. Away from the jail life goes on - the kids get into a fight when another school kid taunts them about their father. Karen, feeling lonely, sleeps with Eddie (from the pub where she works). Towards the end of his sentence Ian is given a day out to spend with the family. Disaster almost strikes after an allegation of drug smuggling, but somehow the family pulls through.

How can a family's everyday chores be this pleasant?

Having seen some of the Michael Winterbottom movies...i am able to make out that he is an all rounder in making films of all kind..from erotic (9 songs) to sci-fi (code 46)..but "Everyday" made a everlasting mark in my heart which other films of his doesn't couldn't do.It makes me ready for my turn as a father..Really overwhelming to a see a women working hard with a smile on her face,though she has a Himalayan task of providing her 4 children with food,love and a void to fill left by the father whose is at jail for non-specified reason.Michael Nyman's tunes kindles and provokes the emotion of viewers greatly.Not to mention..the so realistic acting of Shaun and Robert..Shaun as a sensitive young boy idolizes his father to such a extent that he is ready to give anyone a black-eye who speaks ill of his father..A heart warming movies to watch for every 20+ people who are about to own a family of their own..
