After attempting to escape the mob Sal Mano?s boss puts a bounty on his head. His daughter Bell must find a way to retrieve her family fortune in order to save her father?s life.
Agree with Nir Shelter, particularly giving the female protagonist an age range. You listed this logline as family, but it could also read like drama (Taken in reverse, Hanna, Paper Moon.) If family, consider including unique details to differentiate Bell and her story goal from other films. (e.g. SRead more

It sounds as if the migrant workers’ mass exodus is one catalyst which forces her to take action – get POWs to work on the farm, she then pursues the goal of saving the farm.
This is one story with its own inciting incident, action, and goal, and the love stories could make for great subplots.
However, this could be turned into a family drama by specifying the rape attempt and falling for Karl as the inciting incident, which forces her to take action – keep the family and farm together for the kid’s sake, she then pursues her goal of a relationship with Karl.
This is definitely a good backdrop for a story, it’s just that you have too many subplots competing to be the ‘A’ plot in the film. Which of these do you prefer to write about in the script?
