The Girl With The Yellow Stockings (original title: Das Mädchen mit den gelben Strümpfen) is a German short film released in 2008. Filmed in a very intimate fashion this film leads us through the story of a young couple as the man asks her to marry him.

The answer is definitely not what he expected it to be but then she incites him to ask again, what he does without thinking twice. The answer is once again “no” which leads to a certain degree of violence. This game continues for a while ending with her leaving the apartment just like she is coming back in the end of the day and that leads to one question: what did she mean with that “no”? She didn’t start by saying something like “I love you, I really do but…” She just said a plain “no” with a little smile on her face.
Is she too young to commit herself to marriage? Does she expect a fancier proposal? Or did that “no” mean anything else?
You tell me.
