Bella is a story of love that goes much deeper than romance. It is a sweetly sentimental story that celebrates life, love, family and relationships. The beautiful Tammy Blanchard plays Nina, an unmarried New York waitress, who loses her job after becoming pregnant. In desperation, she considers abortion her only option.
The restaurant’s empathetic chef is Jose played by the talented Mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui. Jose is an ex-soccer star who gives the young woman emotional support, takes her to visit his loving family and gently tries to persuade her to keep the baby by presenting the option of adoption. Despite appearing rough and shaggy through out most of the movie, Verastegui conveys a gentle warmth and tenderness through his dark Hispanic eyes. Blanchard gives a terrific performance dramatically dealing with difficult and emotionally charged situations.
Director and Co-writer Alejandro Molevede’s heartwarming film portrays Christian values of self-forgiveness, reconciliation and redemption. It addresses sensitive issues with an affirmative pro-life message and has a rather surprising ending. It is a must see film that will be appreciated by adult and adolescent audiences.
