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 Product description: An international soccer star (Eduardo Verastegui) is on his way to sign a multimillion dollar contract when something happens that brings his career to an abrupt end.

Both Tammy and Jose have personal secrets they are dealing with as best they can - she a pregnancy and he an event from his past. When Tammy is fired by Jose's brother, the two of them end up spending the day together and what a day it is. This film is filled with beautiful little warm, touching moments. ...

As he reaches out to help Nina, he finds healing for his life too. I like how they showed a family, that even though they had problems, they loved each other and supported each other. This is one of my favorite movies. Rating: - TruthThere aren't many movies made today that portray true love. This movie is about more than romance. It's about self-sacrificing love. Agape. Rating:  - "God took my sight. Now I can see." A young woman and her male co-worker walk through the busy streets of New York City. As they approach a homeless man selling paper animals, they notice he is blind. The homeless man asks the woman to describe what she sees on the street in return for a free paper animal. She looks back and begins cynically illustrating what is going on. People are busy; they're hectic; they're like a moving clock, all moving fast and doing their own thing, not noticing one another.
