Nina does not know how to react when her father, a handsome man of seventy, turns up with a new girlfriend only a few weeks after the death of his wife. But the celebrity actress Sunna, Nina’s sister, will have none of it: she wants to cut off all contact with her father. Immediately! As befits a self-respecting vicar’s wife and her family’s pillar of strength, Nina tries to be understanding and help smooth things over, in spite of already having enough on her plate. Her finances are a shambles, she has grave worries about her two daughters and her husband is irritatingly slow at reading her mind.

The situation in the family becomes increasingly complicated – until things finally reach boiling point.

Just Fine – And You? describes a few months in the life of a nearly forty-year-old woman in Reykjavik. A woman who cannot say no and desperately wants to be kind to everyone … and therefore runs the risk of neglecting herself.

An extremely funny story about deadly serious matters that could happen in most families.
