About

In an Orwellian future where animals have enslaved humanity, Cambodian director Rithy Panh’s Everything Will Be Ok is a nightmarish fairy tale that reflects humanity’s worst traits back on to itself.

A fascinating blend of poetic metaphor and cautionary tale, the film contemplates notions of subservience, destruction and protest by serving as an emblematic portrait of those countries that have previously witnessed turbulent political change, often due to colonial rule or totalitarian regimes. Hand sculpted clay models and intricate dioramas set the scene for this dystopian tale of rebellion, resistance and revolution, with the figurines serving as haunting avatars that echo the most animalistic traits of humanity.
