Jolanda, a retired archivist, has treasured memories of his beloved friend Mummo for decades. In 1979, they performed together in Finland’s first drag show Happy Gays. Now, with a filmmaker, Jolanda invites a new generation of queer drag artists to re-enact their friendship. As the performers explore Jolanda’s past and the challenges he faced as an outsider, they realize their freedom and pride are rooted in the struggles of those who came before them.

In Cod We Trust is a meditation on home and belonging. The film portrays Båtsfjord, one of the northernmost fishing villages of the world. This self-contained world, wild fish-Klondike of the north, has gathered people from all over the world to live side by side. We dive into the village, making you feel like you are there, among the warmest people with the most outstanding humor. A mosaic of people as unpredictable as the weather and sea surrounding them.
