Bella bettien (2002) Director: Hans Pos Engaged marry the man she loves, the future is promising for Bettien Martins (Thekla Reuten). Along with her fiancé, they plan a life of peaceful ease running a little shop in Majorca. She is the happiest woman alive.
But one terrible night will change those dreams forever. As the happy couple is driving through country lanes, a car comes out of nowhere. Bettien is badly bruised, but alive. Her future husband is not so lucky. Now she knows that her life will never be the same. But nothing can prepare her for how differently her life will turns to be.
To keep the torch of her husband's memory alive, Bettien decides to set up the shop in Majorca on her own. There she meets the smooth-talking Alberto (Robert Reina). Charmed by his manners, Bettien lets him show her the sights. Before long, Alberto introduces Bettien to a whole new world: a world of lavish parties, sophistication -a world of money.
At first, Bettien is uncomfortable. She knows that this money has not been gained through legitimate means. But as the allure of a high-rolling life of wealth gradually seduces her, she starts to take more of an interest in Alberto's line of business - and that business is running a drugs racket for a Colombian crime lord. Putting initial fears behind her, Bettien quickly discovers a real talent for the business herself.
Before she realises what is happening, Bettien has become a ruthlessly successful criminal. Her talents are such that they catch the attention of Alberto's boss in Colombia, and soon she has become his trusted right-hand woman. However, such a success was never meant to last. Little does Bettien know, but every move is being monitored by a international drugs squad. It is only a matter of time before it all comes crumbling down. And when it does, Bettien faces the hardest choice of her life...
