Rosetta is a young girl who lives with alcoholic mother at Seraing suburb. She is obsessed by only one desire: have a stable job and a normal life. In poverty and hopeless, Rosetta is willing to pay at any price to have a job like that, but this desire makes she giving some unexpected decisions
The camera follows right behind Rosetta as she stampedes her way through hardship after hardship, determined to get a fair shake. This puts the viewer in the shoes of Rosetta and we experience her pain firsthand.
Some viewers (including a few who walked out when I saw the movie) are going to find the subject too grim and the production too stark - but that's the idea.
