Bruno en Mirella trouwen in 1989 en leiden een gelukkig leven in het kleine dorpje Piombino. Maar als Bruno ontslagen wordt en Mirella een affaire begint met een tv-presentator, strandt hun huwelijk. Als ze het later nog eens samen proberen, blijkt dat hun liefdesverhaal definitief ten einde is. Hun levens raken steeds verder van elkaar verwijderd, maar desondanks blijven de twee in contact door een tedere briefwisseling.
Nee, helaas is La bella vita nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
