About Ella
Ella has been living in her apartment in the city center for more than 40 years. Due to the massively increasing price of rent, she is forced to move out soon and to give away most of her beloved pieces of furniture. Even the ones, she restored by herself. When the new tenants of her apartment stop by to pick and choose which of her valuables they would like to keep, Ella realizes that her time in this apartment is coming to an end.
Directed by Benjamin Rost, Ella leans on a strong ensemble — Hedi Kriegeskotte, Gina Henkel, Jürgen Lehmann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
