A Black Jesus
A virus arrives on a plane from China in the small, Arctic town. In the following two months their lives will be turned upside down. March 2020 in the small, snow packed town of Tromsø, deep in the Arctic. A virus arrives on a plane from China. Within the next couple of days, the lives of its inhabitants will change completely. In "Everything will be okay?", director Carl Christian Lein Størmer follows a group of people from his hometown through the two first months of the COVID-pandemic. A town that finds itself at the brink of collapse due to both the viral threat, but also the repeated snowstorms that keep slamming the town. Gunnar - the mayor - disobeys the government, and declares a "Southerner quarantine". The communal driver Per Arne is trans-placed into a new and frightening job, collecting viral samples from the most sick patients in their homes. The cab driver Aleks doesn't dare to see his kids. Kjell - the local priest - is forced to cancel the first public Easter service since the Middle Ages. Linn Veronika is about to go bankrupt. And all of this, whilst they all fear getting infected themselves - or infecting others - with a deadly virus. The government asks isolated kids to paint rainbows and write "Everything will be okay" on their windows. But will it be okay? —Björn W. Andersson
