Love is in the air, or perhaps in the Apple Orchards, in HMM's upcoming film, The Secrets of Bella Vista.
Directed by Heather Hawthorn-Doyle and written by Jamie Pachino, the film is based on the book, The Apple Orchard by Susan Wiggs. It revolves around Tess, who visits her inherited apple orchard and helps out her new-found family with their debt problems by unraveling the mystery of their grandmother’s treasure.
The Secrets of Bella Vista: Trailer, synopsis, and ensemble cast
HMM's The Secrets of Bella Vista is all set to premiere on Sunday, September 18 at 9 pm ET/PT. The film is two hours long and is executively produced by Kim Arnott alongside Kate Gajdosik and Robyn Weiner as co-producers.
The official synopsis for the HMM film reads:
"When Tess unexpectedly inherits an apple orchard, along with a half-sister she wasn’t aware of, she unravels the mystery of her new-found family and ultimately comes to a new understanding of herself."
The trailer for the film dropped last month and featured Tess inheriting half of an apple orchard from her father along with her half-sister Isabel, who she did not know existed. Upon visiting the orchard, she connects with her new-found family and learns about the dept and only her knowledge can save them.
