Director’s statement
EVERYTHING’S FINE was born from the desire to capture the excitement of a moment when everything in Mélanie’s life is about to change. She tries to stay in control while her boyfriend embarks on a career that will take him far from home. But when she’s alone, she worries a little, even though she understands her partner, his dream, his desires. Ultimately, she tells herself, everything will be fine. But for the moment, nothing is certain. She keeps her sights on the long term for the sake of her children.

Talking about us
“Perhaps it’s because I find children so hateful that I sympathize with the sensitively documented existence of this everyday heroine, single mother of a trâlée of mousses when her trucker boyfriend went off on his run…”
“In her short film Tout roule, Audrey Nantel-Gagnon follows Mélanie Demers, David Miousse and the family’s children, Milan, Élisabeth and Ludovic, as they go about their everyday lives in Saint-Henri. The film opens a window on the emotions contained in the heart of a mother who puts others before herself.”
“The audience is touched by the love that reveals itself in a nursery rhyme sung to her daughter; by the strong desire for a united family in a conflict resolution with her son; by the fear of being alone when she says goodbye to her partner, who is embarking on a career as a long-distance truck driver. The underlying themes are subtle, but become clear on screen. Reading between the lines is then an indispensable tool for understanding the characters’ reality.”
