An intelligent film with a surprise ending - Yella review by DR
To interpret this film would be to spoil the enjoyment of the viewer, who will make his own interpretation.
The events comprise the common experiences of women. Trouble with their former partners, hope for a different future.
Yella seems to find a role where her knowledge of company accounts is only surpassed by her unsuspected interpersonal skills : a role bordering on the illegal. The film describes what happens when hope in general, e.g. for a worthwhile employment, or for worthwhile small business projects, is confronted with cynicism.
