Everything Will Be Fine

This film is marketed as a political thriller, but the puzzle is far more complex than that. Boe follows and skillfully blends two parallel story lines, in which director Jacob accidentally discovers secret documents about the involvement of Danish soldiers in the torture of Iraqi prisoners. “My intention was always to get a thriller going, which creates certain expectations that are then continually deconstructed. We do that by allowing the film to stop and say, ‘This thriller is only interesting in light of the melodramatic tale of two people failing at love’,” says the director.
