Expectationย meetsย Julie and Julia, The Yellow Kitchenย is a brilliant exploration of food, belonging and friendship.
London E17, 2019. A yellow kitchen stands as a metaphor for the lifelong friendship between three women: Claude, the baker, goal-orientated Sophie and political Giulia. They have the best kind of friendship, chasing life and careers; dating, dreaming and consuming but always returning to be reunited in the yellow kitchen.
That is, until a trip to Lisbon unravels unexplored desires between Claude and Sophie. Having sex is one thing, waking up the day after is the beginning of something new.
Exploring the complexities of female friendship,ย The Yellow Kitchenย is a hymn to the last year of London as we knew it and a celebration of the culture, the food and the rhythms we live by.
