A young woman (Afsaneh Dehrouyeh) walks into a clothing store looking to buy her first full length chadari. The shop is owned by auteur Elham Ahsas and over the next few minutes he helps her to choose the colour she might be allowed to wear, and then we watch her try on the garb that seems to almost empower her - she twirls and twirls and twirls... The movement almost perfectly illustrative of some of the joy and spirit that she is soon to leave behind. Her shoes of colour and sparkle to be forever hidden beneath it's weaves which, in themselves, demonstrate further the uncertainly she is to face under an increasingly male-dominated Taliban rule that will treat her as little better than a chattel from now on! It's simple with hardly any dialogue to clutter up the rather potent imagery that we are left to evaluate for ourselves. Yellow as a colour symbolises so many things around the world - it's well titled, too.
