Yetafene Fikir (Suppressed Love, loosely translated) brings to light the emotional crisis that two girls experience. Helen has moved in with Ermias, her boyfriend, while Lamrot has married Gezahegn (Enkusellasie Werkagegnew), an old wealthy man who was a friend of her father’s. Ermias’s feelings for his girlfriend are dying while Gezahegn does not express his love to his wife though he still loves and cares for her. Therefore, Lamrot becomes depressed in the monotony of marriage with an old workaholic for whom her youthful passions amount to nothing more than romantic folly.
For Gezahegn, work comes first. That is his preoccupation day and night. He gives Lamrot no surprises. Every activity, whether it be visiting families or recreation, must be done strictly according to schedule. Therefore, Lamrot finds herself trapped in the richly furnished house of a 'clock-and-calendar' husband and longs for the excitement of vibrant love she has been dreaming of before committing herself to a lifelong relationship with Gezahegn.
Ermias's boredom with Helen and Lamrot's quest for love bring them together and thrusts them into a world of pleasure on a higher plane than they had ever thought possible.
Yetafene Fikir is the first script Martha Abebe.
