Hurt by Paradise

Multi-hyphenate Greta Bellamacina writes, directs and stars as Celeste, an ambitious young mother trying to carve out a career as a poet in modern-day London. Always close behind is friend and neighbour Stella (co-writer Sadie Brown), whose dreams of being an actor are frequently put on hold due to spending all her time babysitting Celeste’s son. A loving ode to female friendship, unfiltered creativity, and life in the big city, Hurt By Paradise is a naturalist charmer with heart and wit to spare.
