“ANNIE FOREVER is a film about love, and how love doesn’t always take the form of a romantic relationship. That friendships often are the ones that carry us through life. The film portrays a journey of choosing oneself.”
Annie is a middle-aged woman in the midst of her life. She works as a hairdresser in a small, suburban town, and lives in a detached relationship with her husband. She is weighed down by loneliness in a stagnant existence, but cracks of chaos and longing exist within her. One day, an old acquaintance appears in the suburban landscape and, for the first time in a long time, Annie can feel herself. She begins to re-find her limits and gets a small glimpse into a different life.

Alone in her empty flat, from her window Anne observes the people passing by who nervously snatch up the personal belongings and pieces of furniture she has put out on the pavement. Her final gesture of taking a ring off her finger signals she is leaving her previous life in Holland behind. She goes to Ireland, where she chooses to lead a solitary, wandering existence, striding through the austere landscapes of Connemara. During her travels, she discovers a house that is home to a hermit, Martin.
