SHELF LIFE launches with an unusual premise: might spending time among people who age cheese yield insights about what it's like for us humans to grow old? A peripatetic journey to unexpected locations—ranging from Japan to Tblisi—provides an immersive culinary and temporal experience. At the heart of the film are the people we meet along the way: cheese makers, mongers and librarians whose perspectives on decay and dissolution both charm and haunt.
