Description
by Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne (Belgium, 1999)
Young and impulsive Rosetta lives with her alcoholic mother, and moved by despair she will do anything to maintain a job. The first scene, like almost all others, is a fighting scene. A girl, about eighteen, is sacked from her factory work because her trial period is over. The girl, Rosetta, is quite upset and the cops will have to arrive to get her out. She has her reasons: she lives in a caravan, with her alcoholic mother. She goes looking for work as some go to the war. Treasons, murders are in her mind, if not in her act.
