Yellow -- Based on the short story: The Yellow Wallpaper; by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, this subtle thriller follows a new mothers descent into dementia.

Yellow -- A dark hallmark card about a man who breaks the spirit of his daughter and the heart of his father.

Roselyn Sanchez (Rush Hour 2, TV’s “Without a Trace”) and D.B. Sweeney (The Cutting Edge) star in this romantic drama about a young dancer who travels from her native Puerto Rico to the Big Apple in search of a new life after the death of her crippled father, once a great ballet star in New York City. Upon her arrival in New York, with no job and nowhere to live, Amaryllis (Sanchez) turns to working in a strip club to make ends meet. Amaryllis quickly creates a new family in New York by befriending an older man in her building, a washed-out poetry professor named Miles Emory as well as her co-workers at the strip club. Increasingly desperate, Amaryllis seriously injures herself during a performance one night at the club, only to be saved by Christian (Sweeney), a doctor in the audience. Miles’ poem “Yellow” inspires Amaryllis to seek a Broadway dancing job and her emotional connection to Miles helps to give him a reason for living that eluded her father. As Amaryllis’ relationship with Christian turns into a love affair, she must make a choice between the security of his love and following her dream.

After her father unexpectedly commits suicide, Amaryllis leaves her native Puerto Rico for the Big Apple with dreams of stardom as a dancer. She meets more than a little adversity and soon finds herself working as a stripper to make ends meet.
