Set in the 1930’s, THE USUAL is a commentary paralleling today’s social economic issues with those of the Great Depression. Life was unpredictable, even the wealthiest, most prominent businessman had much to fear. During this uncertain time, a privileged couple learns, through a series of events, the meaning of pay-it-forward, when they unexpectedly find themselves the ones in need. This is essentially a film about kindness, hope and looking out for each other, even during tough times.
