Adapted from DV8’s stage production, The Cost of Living was shot in an English seaside resort. Eddie and David are disillusioned street performers. Eddie is tough and not afraid to defend his belief in justice, respect, and honesty. David is a legless dancer who is determined not to let his disability get in his way. The film challenges notions of dance and demonstrates how expansive and individual the medium can be.
