Rosalie

France, 1870s. Rosalie is a young woman unlike any other. She hides a secret: she was born with a face and body covered in hair. She’s concealed her peculiarity all her life to stay safe, shaving to fit in. Until Abel, an indebted bar owner unaware of her secret, marries Rosalie for her dowry. Will Abel be able to love Rosalie and see her as the woman she is, once he finds out the truth?

“Sumptuously captured in its ravishing rural locations this is an unsettling and thought-provoking film that questions traditional views of eroticism, sexuality and gender roles, touching on prejudice and also the male and female gaze.” ~Meredith Taylor, Filmuforia

“With nuanced performances at its heart, it brings an overlooked story to light with grace and insight, examining humanity’s timeless struggles against bias and discrimination.” ~Naser Nahandian, Gazettely
