Shy Tonia is new to the school and quickly makes friends with a group of rebellious teenagers. With her charm, she captivates two classmates who couldn't be more different: Zhurik, a humorous prince charming, and Sania, a daredevil drug dealer. A dangerous love triangle unfolds between them, in which the boundaries between good and evil, right and wrong, love and obsession become blurred.

Anna Buryachkova stages a captivating homage to the generation of post-Soviet “90s kids”. Captured with raw beauty by cinematographer Lena Chekhovska. FOREVER FOREVER provides a blunt and rare insight into the complex emotional world of growing up, revealing the untamed nature of passion and gender relations and illuminating their bitter taste in a Ukraine that is so different from today.
