'Everything Will Be Fine' is a German comedy film written by Angelina Maccarone and Fatima El-Tayeb, released in 1998.Mukhida, L. (2012), AGAINST THE PULL OF CONVENTION: SUBVERSIVE LAUGHTER IN ANGELINA MACCARONE'S ALLES WIRD GUT. German Life and Letters, 65: 489-502. doi:10.1111/j.1468-0483.2012.01584.x 'Everything Will Be Fine' was the first German film since 'Toxi' with a Black German female protagonist. Additionally, it was the first German comedy with a non-white protagonist. The film aired on German TV and brought novelty to German film through its use of comedy to highlight racism. Maccarone drew from screwball comedy of the 1930s and took it back, made it witty, and queered it.Alexander Weheliye. Identity Politics in Germany" Lecture. February 2018. Northwestern University. Additionally, 'Everything Will Be Fine' moved away from a problem film, one that accentuates strangeness, to a film that highlights black female protagonists who are self-sufficient and free. The black characters were not depicted as strangers or problems for the German nation through Maccarone's ability to show the everydayness of black Germans. This is in stark contrast to 'Toxi', a 1952 German film, that highlights Toxi, a young black German girl, as a problem.
