Ella

Hanne LARSEN 2009 Norway Fiction color 24min Norwegian Digi Beta
Ella is a burlesque drama about old, boozed-up Ella, 73, who refuses to take a bath. Ella’s hobby is to drive her home helper crazy. Neither won’t take a bath, or that Ella generally does not want to do anything at all that others do. Ella has tucked away the reason in the darkest recesses of her mind, and each time the thoughts emerge she drowns them in alcohol. For no one knows, there is no one who really knows Ella, Ella does not know anyone. The film is based on an incident that took place during the German retreat from Finnmark, Northern Norway in 1945.
