Rosalie
15
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.
Drama • Empowering • Romantic
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?
Di Giusto's feature debut is a warm and at times powerful creative retelling of the story of the world's first 'Bearded Lady'. Its foremost strength sits with the central performance by Nadia Tereszkiewicz as the film's titular character. At turns twisting between soft gentility and a force to be reckoned with, Tereszkiewicz is magnetic.
