Forever and Always is a story of disappointment, albeit expected disappointment. Alex, the main character and James, the off-screen love interest, have struggled with relationship issues in the past, but have always managed to overcome them and come out stronger together. Today, this is not the case. Alex still believes in their failing relationship, but ultimately gives up when James never makes it to their picnic date on the beach. After months of dancing around the topic, James finally reveals how he feels by not showing up, thereby ending the relationship. The film captures the moments when Alex finally chooses himself over James, and continues living his life without his influence.
