Synopsis:

Nete is a tough woman of 35 who runs her job, husband, and teenage daughter with a firm and efficient hand. Her father suddenly becomes ill. Seriously ill. Nete forces a doctor to tell her how much time he has left. 3 weeks, hardly any longer. Nete's father becomes bitter and introvert, but Nete insists that he come to live with her and her family the few weeks he has left. "You should die with your family." Nete's father moves in and puts even more strain on Nete's family and everyday life. They all try to cope with the situation - he has only three weeks left, and you don't argue with a dying man. Three weeks pass by. A month. Nete's father does not die, his appetite comes back, the doctors begin to have doubts as to the prognosis, and Nete has a problem. Space is limited in every possible way. Nete's husband seeks comfort outside of their home, her daughter begins to rebel...

Jesper W. Nielsen's Okay is a family drama. Nete (Paprika Steen) is a take-charge, in-control woman who takes in her widower father, Johannes (Ole Ernst), after he is diagnosed with cancer. When Johannes stays longer than expected, Nete's professor husband, Kristian (Troels Lyby), initiates an affair with a student. Nete's 14-year-old daughter, Trine, is having troubles typical of an adolescent. Adding more stress to the household is Johannes' feud with his gay son, Martin. The two have been estranged since Martin revealed his sexual orientation to his family. Okay was screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

A bittersweet comedy with dogma star Paprika Steen in the strong leading role.
