Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Berlin-based sales agent Pluto Film has boarded “Forever-Forever” (“Nazavzhdy-Nazavzhdy”), Ukrainian filmmaker Anna Buryachkova’s feature directing debut, ahead of its world premiere in Venice Film Festival’s Horizons Extra competition. After transferring from a downtown high school, Tonia (Alina Cheban) befriends a group of badass youngsters, trying to find protection from the people from her past and a place she truly belongs. They spend time together, roaming around Kyiv’s post-socialist suburbs, having fun and getting in trouble.
Soon, Tonia falls in love with Zhurik (played by Zachary Shadrin, whose credits include HBO’s “Industry” and Apple TV+’s “Little America”). When she also falls for Sania (Arthur Aliiev), she finds herself tangled up in an alluring secret love triangle. But Tonia’s painful past still haunts her, challenging this newfound friendship and romance.
Will she be able to find her own path or lose herself in this new controversial relationship? Buryachkova stated: “This film is a love song to the lost teenagers of the late 1990s who grew up amidst the ruins of the Soviet regime and were told one rule: if no one loves you, you won’t survive. Seeking love and validation in someone else’s eyes, my generation compromised on the abuse and injustice, just to get more attention. Being a teenager in general means that every bit of existence is only here and now, which means forever.
Every love is forever, every relationship is forever, every drama is forever. So now, being adults, we have to finally grow up and realize that the only validation and love we need is our own. Such understanding always requires the acceptance of loneliness and embracing
