Forever

Alice's boyfriend Tom kills himself following a heated argument, leaving her heartbroken and overwhelmed. The tragedy shakes her grip on reality and pushes her toward an escape from the world she can't cope with. This event becomes the catalyst for her plan to disappear into an isolated life.

She discovers a remote commune run by a former psychiatrist as a possible refuge. Driven by grief and a need to disappear, she resolves to locate the place and join it. The journey marks the beginning of her attempt to rebuild her life by hiding from her identity.

Alice enters the community by pretending to have forgotten who she is, which allows her to observe the residents and their routines from within. Her ruse helps her blend into the group while she assesses whether she can stay. The infiltration marks a turning point in her search for safety.

Inside the commune, she discovers that each member has suffered a deep loss or trauma. Although the residents live in apparent joy, they share a dark objective: a planned mass suicide. The revelation complicates her feelings, as she begins trying to fit into a community with a hidden, deadly purpose.

Charlie finds Alice's hidden I.D. card but chooses to keep her lie secret rather than exposing her. Rather than reject her, he becomes drawn to her, and the two begin a romantic relationship. The romance creates a new emotional bond that ties her to the commune and to Charlie.

Eventually Alice confesses who she really is and pleads with the group to let her remain. They decide to allow her to stay, accepting the risk that her presence might derail their plans. This moment deepens her integration into the community and her relationship with Charlie.

She tries to come to terms with ending her life but remains unsure and conflicted. The support she finds in the commune clashes with the looming ritual they intended to perform. The inner struggle reveals how fragile her resolve has become.

Neil, the commune's director, accidentally ends the life of his sick wife, an event that pushes the residents toward the suicide ritual. The group decides that it is time to execute the ritual they had been preparing. The tragedy crystallizes their shared resolve to 'let go' together.

Alice urges Charlie to flee with her and start over elsewhere. He refuses the escape, insisting the group must stay together, but tells her she is free to leave if that is what she wants. The moment tests their bond and foreshadows the possibility of a break.

The next morning the commune gathers to enact the planned suicide, lying on camp beds and taking poison to spare suffering. The atmosphere is tense, with a sense of finality hanging over the participants. The ritual is framed as a peaceful exit from pain, despite the fear it inspires.

As Alice is poised to drink, Charlie interrupts and convinces her to flee with him. He commits to leaving the commune and starting anew with her, promising not to disrupt their escape. This act undermines the group’s plan and marks a decisive shift.

Alice and Charlie board a train together, choosing a new path away from the commune. The final image shows a bench at the station carved with the word 'forever,' symbolizing a lasting hope beyond the group’s tragedy. The ending leaves their future open but suggests a break from the planned ritual.
