Product description:

In one irreversible moment, their lives are turned upside down...until a simple gesture of kindness brings them both together, turning an ordinary day into an unforgettable experience.
Amazon.com:
Life is a complicated journey in which right and wrong are sometimes indistinct and where the things that really matter are often unclear. Bella is a powerful, leisurely-paced film in which Jose (Eduardo Verastegui) and Nina (Tammy Blanchard) struggle to do what's right while seeking meaning in their lives. A quiet, brooding man with a dark past, Jose works as a chef in his brother Manny's (Manny Perez) restaurant where he mostly keeps to himself until young waitress Nina is fired.Touched by Manny's unfair treatment of Nina, Jose impulsively leaves work to follow Nina and spends a day with her where he discovers that she is pregnant and alone. The two become incredibly close in the space of a day, sharing their pasts, feelings, and fears, and a lasting friendship is born. As Nina struggles with her pregnancy options and Jose comes to terms with a horrific incident from his past, the pair's newfound friendship aids in growth and healing. In the end, Jose and Nina's lives become permanently intertwined in a most beautiful and unexpected way. Bella is a moving, introspective film that will inspire serious personal reflection.--Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - A touching story, brilliantly portrayed!
"Bella" is one of those movies that make you want to believe in goodness of people and the purpose of life. It may move you to tears, or not - but what's certain is that you won't get away unaffected.
The story of a soccer star, whose career ends before it begins, and of the NY waitress, who is left to face the music alone by her boyfriend when she becomes pregnant, is captured brilliantly in this movie. The shots capture the poignance of the moment in the movie, and in fact, at times, ... Read More
Rating: - The Passion to Play
Director Alejandro Moteverde keeps the pace slow and meditative.Sometimes one incident can change your whole life.It can happen in a split second before you've even realized the implications.Jose played by Eduardo Verastegui who was in "Chasing Papi" in 2003 does an excellent job.We see him first looking almost homeless, ragged enough to make a parent get his children away from him.As the story unfolds and we learn what happened on the day he went to sign his big soccer contract, we see the ...

Rating:  - Suave, doce e autêntico
Every once in a while a film comes along that sucks you into it so completely that you forget that you are watching a movie.None of the lines are forced, none of the "action" defies real life, none of the emotion contrived.This was almost like watching a docudrama, but the pace, the mood and feel were so gentile, loving, sweet yet authentic that it was like being a fly on the wall to two people confronting their own individual grief over mistakes made and consequences to be faced for an undetermined ...

Rating:  - Heartfelt Story
Bella is a heartfelt story in which the lives of a waitress (Tammy Blanchard), and a cook (Eduardo Versategui) are meshed together. The cook has a dark past he isn't to grips with just yet. They are both struggling to make sense of the world, and as they are brought together, they find solace in one another.
I came upon this film when searching Netflix for something to watch. It was available on Instant Play, so it was watched. Eduardo Versategui, whom I've never heard of before, was wonderfully ... Read More
Rating: - Great Movie
I was bowled over by the direction and acting in this movie.It's in my top 5.Some reviewers complain about the slow pace but I felt it was a matter of thouroughly developing the characters and this was the whole point of the movie.A great story beautifully filmed and acted.
