Modern life does not satisfy. The happiness we make for ourselves is ersatz, filling in for a mythical good life, which for the most part, no one is really interested in anymore. How then, do people continue to live, despite it all? This is a survey of new American filmmaking at a time when the way people have lived the past 40 years is in the midst of breaking down, making way for something new. These four films and one series take narrative, observation and humor as their methods to find where life is not meeting its own parameters, leaving the audience with one question: “why do I live like this?”
