ABOUT YELLA

Yella (played by Nina Hoss) has decided to leave her small town for a promising job and new life, leaving behind her failed marriage and broken dreams. Nothing can stop her: not even a freak car accident with her psychotic ex-husband driving on the day of her departure.
After a humiliating professional setback, the winds change for pretty Yella when young executive Philipp (played by Devid Striesow) takes a chance on her as his assistant. Although she has no experience in high-risk venture capital, coincidence lends a hand, and Yella soon discovers she has a knack with ruthless businessmen. Negotiations become a thrilling game of quick wits in which Yella’s looks and icy demeanor are major assets.
Yella sees a potential future with Philipp. He is serious, determined, and his goals could become shared projects. It seems ambitious Yella could finally get everything she ever wanted … But strange sounds and events plague Yella. Truths from her past come back to haunt her. Her new life could be too good to be real.
