Rosetta is a Belgian film directed by Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne. The movie follows the life of a 17-year-old girl named Rosetta, who is desperately trying to find a job and improve her life. She lives with her alcoholic mother in a trailer park and the two struggle to make ends meet.
Rosetta spends her days searching for work around a local factory and doing odd jobs. Despite her best efforts, she is repeatedly turned down and her frustration and desperation grow. She becomes increasingly aggressive in her search for work, often sabotaging her competitors and fighting with her boss.
As the movie progresses, we see Rosetta's determination and fierce will to succeed. She forms an unlikely friendship with a boy named Riquet who works at the factory. Together, they try to navigate the harsh realities of their situation and help each other along the way.
Rosetta is a raw and unflinching look at the difficulties faced by those living in poverty and struggling to make a better life for themselves. The film won the Palme d'Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival and was praised for its honest portrayal of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
