In a leafy suburban town in Denmark, Mark and Karin buy a picturesque old house that Karin dreams of remodeling—a home for their son, Andreas, to grow up in. Then Karin falls seriously ill.
Weathering a brutal cycle of rekindled hopes and devastating relapses, they persevere with the renovations, bedeviled by a barrage of accidents and problems that the project throws their way. But finishing the job takes on a new and bittersweet significance as Karin exhausts conventional treatments and they are forced to seek alternatives abroad.
It doesn't matter, you'll be okay is a poignant story of a family undergoing an ordeal that tests the limits of their resilience and resourcefulness, about the deep human need to create something lasting amidst the precarious uncertainties of life and death—and about how, amidst the shared moments of a lifetime, we become part of one another.
