Forever Mine is a 1999 British–Canadian romantic drama film written and directed by Paul Schrader and starring Joseph Fiennes, Gretchen Mol and Ray Liotta.

Alan reminisces about an affair he had 14 years earlier while working as a cabana boy at an unnamed opulent beach hotel, where he falls in love with Ella Brice (Mol), the beautiful wife of business mogul Mark Brice.

Mark then offers Alan a chance for freedom by simply dropping the affair and never looking for Ella again.

Despite this, Alan is undeterred, and even mails letters to Ella, including one with a fingerprint in his blood coupled with a series of sincerely passionate claims.

He murders a Cuban eminent criminal attorney with underworld connections, named Manuel Esquema, whose identity he assumes.

Esquema asks about the way Ella has coped with her husband's circumstances, to which she replies that she constantly reads Madame Bovary.

The following day, Esquema sights Ella at a restaurant; she meets with him, supposedly to continue describing Mark's lifestyle.

Later that evening, the associate goes to a tanning salon, where he is murdered by Javier, the latter exclaiming “Alan Ripley, believe it or not”, before delivering the fatal gunshot.

In dismay, she attempts to interject but he tells her to be silent and begins to kiss her passionately.

The following day Esquema has his final interactions with Mark about his legal predicament and offers him a deal in which he will pay 600,000 and serve 10 months in Allenwood prison.

Outraged and confused, Mark demands to find out who this mysterious man is and heads home to confront his wife.

Ella and Esquema are shown driving in the car together, reminiscing as they also plan their new lives as a couple.

Mark confronts Esquema, and confirms that he knows he is the cabana boy, saying that he regrets not killing him himself.
