For a Black woman from Schijndel, there's no doubt: she is the world-famous American supermodel Bella Hadid. But what happens when someone tries to shatter that conviction in this tragicomedy?
She calls herself Bella. Because this 27-year-old Black woman from Schijndel is entirely convinced that she is the world-famous supermodel Bella Hadid. For her, that identity isn't a fantasy, but something to hold onto. During the filming of a fictional documentary, that conviction is put to the test when the production assistant can no longer keep his questions to himself, with unexpected consequences. In this debut, what begins as a portrait of an extraordinary woman grows into an absurdist and tragic reflection on identity, truth, and whether someone's divergent reality should always be challenged.
