In 1987,Alan and his friend,Javier,are on a plane to New York. Alan's mind drifts 14 years back,when he worked as a cabana boy at a beach resort.

One day, while doing his job, he sees a beautiful woman coming out of the sea,and falls in love with her at first sight.

The woman is married to a rich man, but he pursues her, and she accepts to go out with him,starting an affair.

After a few days, she goes home with her husband.

Alan follows her and makes her continue the affair.

 

Her husband finds out about it,and tells her he'll take care of it. His idea of taking care of it, is to put him in jail for harassment. Seeing Alan keeps on sending her love sick letters, the husband arranges for him to be killed.

Alan survives with his face disfigured,and decides to make money,and get vengeance. He takes a job and assumes the identity of the man he kills,Manuel Esquema.

 

Back to the present 1987, Alan as Manuel, is meeting the love of his life's husband(the man who tried to have him killed) who has serious legal problems,as Mark thinks Manuel can help him out of them.

 

This was one of my favorite movies growing up. I still liked Gretchen Mol's outfits. And it still made me cry.

 

The acting was fine.

 

I don't remember the soundtrack. I remember the song in the ending credits, I still like to this day, 'The first time ever I saw your face'.

 

The movie is streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Crackle, DirecTv, Freevee, Fubo Tv, Paramount Plus, Plex, The Roku Channel,Tubi Tv, Vudu Free,and is on Google and YouTube for rent.
