An ode to cinema as a sensation. A train thunders through a tunnel, seagulls screech above the water. An empty station, a bleak harbour and two lonely souls in a grey town. He’s an engine driver, she sells tickets for the ferry. He sees her every day in his train and is secretly in love. Is there hope for love in Athens? Beautiful urban tableaux at the start of Forever show that Athens is a dying city, plagued by a lack of love. This is where Costas and Anna live, fixed in their rhythm of loneliness. They even seem to be satisfied with it. Costas is an engineer and Anna sells tickets for the ferry. Margarita Manda wanted to make a film about silence. 'At a time when cinema is once again searching for the core of its uniqueness, I felt the need to go back to the essence. Back to the train, back to sounds which are music in and of themselves and back to the motionless camera that creates the space to look.' Forever does not show images to go along with the story, but allows you to discover the story within the image. The silence and loneliness are not final destinations. And Manda does not leave Costas and Anna in peace. When bad news turns Costas’ life upside down, he decides to fight for his right to live and love. He buys a ticket for the boat from Anna.

只有必要的人物出场，整座城市撤空做舞台。无悬念，无欲则刚，也无新意。一则寓言
灰色的色调讲述温暖的故事，在海边的码头上，在火车的轨道间，在古旧的录音机里，从第一眼开始的爱。
曾經看過一部愛爾蘭的電影，極少對白，極慢的節奏，以及不太好理解的含義，但它訓練了我的耐性。這部也是，中途男主說的那個故事，才最最要緊，我們的故事傳播節奏太快，來不及聽便匯入了大海，於是我們開始變得沈默，疏於交流。我一直關注著你，想像著關於你的故事，也想著有天跟你分享我的故事。
基本无台词，全靠演员细腻的表演，长镜头固定镜头拼接，生活的片段被拉的缓慢而冗长，画面很冷静构图很美。低饱和接近黑白影像在最后80:15两人隔着铁路相互望去的时候变的明亮起来。情不知所起，一往而深。
