Für immer

In her finely observed documentary FOREVER, Grimme Award winner Pia Lenz explores a decades-long love - how it begins, endures and can be preserved - from the first kiss to the last moment together.

Eva and Dieter danced together for the first time in the winter of 1952. They got married, built a house, had three children. They argued, doubted, overcame crises and grew old together. Now Eva's strength is beginning to wane. They embark on a new path as a couple for the very last time, looking back on the happy moments, but also on the inevitable that lies ahead. How does this life as a couple work?

Old photos, letters and diary entries, in which Nina Hoss lends her voice, provide humorous and ruthlessly honest insights into the inner life of a long-term relationship. A poetic film about our deep longing for a bond that lasts until the end.
