Histoire
Set just before the fall of the Berlin Wall during the Cold War, 'Bella' follows Anthi, a dedicated mother struggling to maintain her family's life amidst political turmoil and personal challenges. Anthi's husband Christos is away on business in the USSR, leaving Anthi to raise their two children alone while facing financial strain. As the world around them begins to change rapidly, Anthi clings to the hope of reuniting with Christos and dreams of a better future for her family.
Résumé
'Bella' is a poignant short film by Thelyia Petraki that captures a snapshot in time during the waning days of the Cold War. The story centers on Anthi, an honest and hardworking mother whose life is marked by monotony and struggle. As political change looms large around her, Anthi's personal narrative serves as a microcosm for the broader shifts happening across Europe. Petraki uses the overlap between fiction and documentary elements to create an emotionally resonant film universe that captures the anxieties and aspirations of this pivotal historical moment.
