All Right
German, Edition Moderne, 2022
In Ordnung tells the story of Eva, whose life is determined by an unnamed mental illness. To avoid her uncontrollable episodes as best she can, Eva lives according to a strict schedule and system of order. But her rigid daily structure and fear of the bad times have robbed Eva of her spontaneity and zest for life.
Eva eventually receives a guardian angel as a birthday present from her grandmother. Shortly afterwards, the guardian angel starts appearing in Eva’s flat – as what she perceives to be a real person. Gabi completely turns Eva’s life on its head with his exuberant, spontaneous manner. He also challenges her to take her life back into her own hands and face her fears. Slowly but surely, a special friendship develops between the two different characters.
