William Waters出生在一個長期被沉默與悲傷籠罩的家庭,在他從小長大的過程中,William從未得到來自雙親的注視或關愛。孤單的Williams只能在籃球場上找到歸屬感,他優異的籃球天賦也讓他得到體優生獎學金上了大學。在大學,他遇見熱情、有抱負又喜愛規劃的Julia Padavano。與Julia相識相愛不只點亮的Willam的世界,與Padavano一家的相處,更讓他感受了從未體驗過的家庭溫暖。Julia的三個妹妹:Sylvie,沉浸在書本世界的夢想家、獨立自主的藝術家 -- Cecelia,以及內向體貼又有包容心的Emeline。Padavano四姊妹就如不可分割的個體般的感情深厚,這也讓William在與他們相處過程中感受到了愛與歸屬。
 
然而,幸福生活卻也隨著時間逐漸變了調。William的童年陰影仍然困擾著他,甚至對Julia為他們所畫好的未來藍圖投下顆不定時炸彈。此外,各種突發事件也讓Padavano四姊妹原本看似堅不可摧的情誼,出現了裂痕。對彼此的愛與忠誠,是否足以帶領他們五人走過難關?
 
在《親愛的愛德華》中,納波利塔諾讓我們體悟了「失去」所產生的悲傷和痛苦,卻也帶給我們面對未來的希望與勇氣。同樣地,在Hello Beautiful中,納波利塔諾透過不同角色遭遇的問題及困難,帶領我們一同探討愛的力量與家庭的重要性。

William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all. With the Padavanos, William experiences a newfound contentment; every moment in their house is filled with loving chaos.
 
But then darkness from William’s past surfaces, jeopardizing not only Julia’s carefully orchestrated plans for their future, but the sisters’ unshakeable devotion to one another. The result is a catastrophic family rift that changes their lives for generations. Will the loyalty that once rooted them be strong enough to draw them back together when it matters most?
 
An exquisite homage to Louisa May Alcott’s timeless classic, Little Women, Hello Beautiful is a profoundly moving portrait of what is possible when we choose to love someone not in spite of who they are, but because of it.
