A happy and enchanted landscape, a doll snatched away from a little girl and thrown into the fire. The documentary traces the life of Cristina Bernhard, born in 1939 into a modest family of farmers and cattle breeders. Her fairytale childhood surrounded by mountains and lush meadows is abruptly interrupted by the death of her mother. The arrival of her stepmother will change her life forever. Mistreatment and violence will force her to leave her village at a very young age and to achieve happiness far away from her beloved mountains. Combining fairy tale and documentary, “Always forgive” is an opportunity to get closer to childhood and unknown existential and emotional territories, the meeting with Cristina and her diary an invitation to discover irony and forgiveness as a cure for one’s suffering.
