When floaty-dressed rock chick Catherine Lish encounters a neglected little girl on a beach in Mexico, she faces a dilemma. Should she just keep walking, continue her holiday and then return to her comfortable yet complicated life in England? Or will the cinema aficionado in her know a plot twist when she sees one and allow a random act of kindness to change the script of her life forever? Sun-kissed, twisty, and yearningly romantic, Bella Novela is a quirky international tale which reminds us that things are rarely what they seem on the surface.
