Based on an original script by Norwegian Bjørn Olaf Johannessen, Wim Wenders tells the story of the author Tomas (James Franco) in Everything Will Be Fine. One day a car accident transforms his life. Even though he is not directly to blame for this tragedy, it still causes his relationship with his girlfriend to break apart. Tomas falls into a deep hole. He seeks retreat in his writing and tries to start his own family with a new love. The film looks at Tomas’ attempt to give his life meaning again and recounts his search for forgiveness. It is not time alone that heals wounds but the courage to face up to things and to forgive. Especially oneself.
«Med et fint manus av norske Bjørn Olaf Johannessen har den tyske regissøren bak filmer som Paris Texas og Lidenskapens vinger laget en film som føles som en lavmælt berøring. Likevel sitter gjenklangen i kroppen i lang tid etterpå.»
«Everything will be fine er en film man bør se flere ganger. Et lite nybrott innen filmens evolusjon er det utvilsomt»
«Wenders’ beste og mest interessante fiksjonsfilm på lenge»
