"Bella" - a Beautiful Movie

“Bella”

“Bella” is the story of an unmarried, pregnant waitress who loses her job, and a once-famous soccer star whose life has been scarred by a tragic accident and his inability to forgive himself. The film chronicles one day in the life of their friendship. It is a day that brings pain, kindness, memories, and, ultimately, healing. It is not so much a romantic love story as a testament to the power of love and a celebration of life.

This film reaches deep into our emotions, connecting us to the hearts of the characters.  These characters are so authentic and likable that we want to join them for dinner.  The movie's ending is a surprize that completes the symmetry and lifts our hearts.  Rated PG, this is a movie you can enjoy with your family.

From the website:
In director Alejandro Monteverde’s emotional tale of self-discovery, two people whose lives are changed forever discover that sometimes it takes losing it all to finally appreciate the things that truly matter.

Starring Mexican superstar Eduardo Verastegui (Chasing Papi) and Emmy award winning Tammy Blanchard (The Good Shepherd), “Bella” is a heartwarming love story about life, relationships and our capacity for love in the face of the unexpected.

“Bella” took the top prize at Toronto’s International Film Festival by winning the highly-coveted “Peoples Choice Award”.
