An international soccer star is on his way to sign a multimillion dollar contract when a series of events unfold that brings his career to an abrupt end. A beautiful waitress, struggling to make it in New York City, discovers something about herself that she's unprepared for. 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.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
positive Latino movie submitted by unknown on November 11, 2008, 8:13am Bella is about love. A family member experiences an catastrophic event. The family copes. Jose, somehow, survives. In this film, he starts to recover. We find out by little flash-backs what happened. This is a beautiful, gentle film. The actors are not well known. They are perfect in the roles. It is mostly filmed in New York City. We see the back stage of the city. The score is wonderful. Everything comes together to create a gem. I recommend the extras. The director/writer very movingly discusses his reasons for creating the film. I believe that it is important to seek out these, so called, "small" films. This film was really lucky, because the Latino community got behind it.
