Narine Kroyan - Bella Belladonna
Bella is a single, 48-year-old unemployed woman, who lives with her bedridden
mother, caring for her for years and striving to survive, having only her poor pension and
social allowance. One day at the entrance of their building she suddenly meets Masha
(Mariam), a 14-15-year-old girl with her own problems, who had arrived from Russia to
visit her grandmother and spend her summer holidays in Armenia. Her father was
Armenian and mother was Tatar. And despite of age difference, the two singles become
close friends. They involuntarily help each other by helping others who are held in the
prison of life like themselves, the captives of conventions, where everybody decides
everything for them. This mission starts with the release of the chained and abandoned
dogs, since only death can provide the release of the suffering prisoners of life. And Bella
with Masha changing each other’s lives, also change things, going through ambiguous
adventures and becoming decision-makers, responsible individuals who are ready to
challenge the stereotypes and taboos of destiny, rejecting slavery and believing in
freedom as an inviolable condition which of course is not easy for them.
