The film contrasts the couple's quiet, literate life with their "coatto" (rough/flashy) neighbors and eccentric doctors, adding a layer of social comedy. Critical Reception Every Blessed Day (2012) - IMDb

The film uses the couple's struggle with infertility to critique Italy’s bureaucratic healthcare system and the influence of conservative institutions (referred to as "professors connected to the Vatican") on reproductive rights.

Because of their opposing work schedules, the couple only sees each other in the early morning. Every day, Guido brings Antonia breakfast and they spend their limited time together before she heads to work.

Their stable relationship is tested when they decide to have a child. After several failed attempts, they navigate the clinical and often absurd world of assisted fertility, which begins to strain their bond. Themes & Analysis
