Almost Forever


A film by Lia Hietala & Hannah Reinikainen

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.
