Even If Everything Ends

Against the backdrop of a raging hot summer when wildfires have turned holiday makers into climate refugees, four characters try to find a way to carry on living.
Didrik is a media consultant whose macho efforts to become the hero that saves his family render him a pathetic vision of masculine impotence; Melissa is a climate change denying influencer with a suitcase full of tragic dreams; André is the nineteen-year-old son of an international sports star who sees an opportunity to use the erupting violence around him to orchestrate his own personal revenge; and Vilja is Didrik's fourteen-year-old daughter, forced to step into the unexpected role of competent organizer in the face of adult ineptitude.
Through these four inter-connected perspectives, Jens Liljestrand chronicles how the struggles of ordinary people go on even as the world as we know it is coming to an end.
