Norwegian drama ‘Everything You Love' will launch on Channel 4 in August courtesy of Walter Presents, with the boxset available on C4 Streaming.
Created and written by Marie Hafting with Stian Kristiansen as Director, ‘Everything You Love' stars Jakob Fort and Mina Fuglesteg Dale.
‘Everything You Love' is a grand love story with a somber abyss. It is a series about the concern today’s youth have for the future, about broken dreams, an intoxicating crush, a murderous ideology and the power of love.
Sara is sitting on the subway. She has just moved to Oslo. Her eyes travel from one passenger to the next, stopping by a boy she recognizes from summer camp as kids – Jonas. They start talking, feelings spring to life, they start dating, and it feels like it is going to be the two of them forever. Sara and Jonas complete each other perfectly.
Besides, Jonas finds that his mind is at rest whenever he is with Sara. Because inside Jonas’ mind, an infinite string of thoughts is churning, rarely giving him any peace. He is, according to himself, about to uncover the truth about how the world is connected – he is about to be radicalized into a right-wing extremist mindset. Online, Jonas has found likeminded people. But there is a problem – most people don’t understand jack shit, and that makes life around normal people problematic. Jonas gets into conflicts with his friends because of his political conviction. And then there is Sara, whom Jonas hides his thoughts from.
Still, Sara wonders about some of Jonas’ statements. But afraid of conflict as she is, she lets it slide, until she one day stands with his phone in her hand, discovering the forum Jonas is active on – a forum where terrorists are hailed as saints. Sara can no longer ignore that her boyfriend is a right-wing extremist. She confronts him, he tries to make her understand how the world is connected, she claims he has lost touch with the real world completely.
How deep into the world of right-wing extremism is Jonas willing to go? Will love keep him from sacrificing himself for his ideologic conviction? And can Sara continue to see the person behind all the disturbing thoughts?
Walter Presents: ‘Everything You Love' will launch on Channel 4 at midnight on 26th August 2024. The full boxset will be available on C4 Streaming from 23rd August.
