Disk 1. Rosetta -- Disk 2. La Promesse |
| Summary |
Rosetta is a stark portrayal of a young woman coming of age at the edge of social oblivion. Rosetta, (Emilie Dequenne), a shy 17 year-old, lives with her alcoholic mother in a trailer park in Belgium. She longs to have a "normal" life and become a productive member of society, but even this modest goal seems beyond her grasp. Quietly terrified that she will slide into the abyss like her mother, she wages a desperate, purely instinctive battle to lift herself out of her wretched, semi-feral existence. Desparate to live a normal life, her ambition is to get and keep a job |
