Bella's childhood was marked by abandonment and loneliness until she met Ponce, an idealistic artist in whom she saw her Prince Charming. Six years later, the young woman, now a mother of two children and the owner of an art gallery lives in a luxurious mansion with the appearance of a perfect life. However, behind that façade lies a devastating reality: years of abuse and psychological violence. One night, Bella realizes that the only way to save herself is to escape the nightmare her marriage has become.
Manuel H. Martín, Amparo Martínez Barco
Manuel H. Martín was born in Huelva in 1980 and graduated in Audiovisual Communication from the University of Seville. Filmmaker and founding partner of the film production company La Claqueta, he has directed the animated feature film ‘Bella’ (2025) and three feature-length documentaries: ‘The Longest Voyage’, (2020, selected for Seminci), 'Life in Flames' (2015) and ‘30 años de oscuridad’ (2012, nominated for a Goya). In addition to his audiovisual work, he has written and published the comic book ‘Una historia de perros viejos’ (2018) and the vampire novel ‘Rojo sangre’ (2023). Amparo Martínez Barco was born in Madrid in 1981 and graduated in Audiovisual Communication from the University of Seville. She began her career as a graphic designer and VFX compositor for films such as ‘Marshland’ and ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ and the series ‘The Plague’, all directed by Alberto Rodríguez. She later made the leap to VFX supervisor for films such as ‘The Gentiles’ by Santi Amodeo, ‘Tobacco Barns’ by Rocío Mesa, and ‘Tin & Tina’ by Rubin Stein, which was nominated for a Goya in the best visual effects category. ‘Bella’ (2025) is her first experience as a director.
