A film by Lia Hietala & Hannah Reinikainen
Almost Forever follows Jasmine, Philip, and their friends through five formative years as they navigate friendship, love, and identity across Stockholm. Jasmine, cool but sensitive, longs for her distant father and tries to balance her time between friends and boyfriends whilst Philip, warm and funny, stands out as religious in secular Sweden and is trying to find a way to not be friend-zoned.
Their close-knit crew roams the city—skating, talking, filming themselves—until adolescence brings new tensions. Rumors, shifting loyalties, first heartbreaks, and questions of consent and cancel culture begin to test them. As high school approaches, both face the chance to redefine who they want to be. The film captures the tenderness and turbulence of growing up, portraying a generation shaping itself amid change.
