- Synopsis
- Forever Hold Your Peace is a comedy set on the Mediterranean seaside, that tells a story of an event that holds a special place in the life of any human being, despite inducing tremendous anxiety - a wedding ceremony.
  
  Two days before the wedding, Dragana, the bride, declares that she won't go through with it, even though everything is prepared and everyone is aware of the impending ceremony.
  
  Leso, the merciless patriarch of the groom's family, offers this to the rebellious bride - do the damn wedding, act it out, and then go wherever you want the next day. She accepts. Momo, the offended groom, is still in love with her and hopes she will stay.
  
  A traditional Montenegrin wedding includes an ensemble of wild characters who follow a series of absurd steps, complete with alcohol, gunfire, and dynamite. This joyfully farcical event will also bring the worst of their dilemmas into play.
