Holy Rosita

Rosita is a well-liked woman, who despite her slight mental handicap cherishes an ardent wish to have a child. It is a wish that other grown-ups around her consider unachievable. After all, she can barely take care of herself. When the young woman does get pregnant, it causes great worry. Especially with her guardian. In contrast, other people like Rosita’s empathic neighbour believe in her and support her. This compassionate Flemish feature film lends a voice to a protagonist that in our society generally remains unheard. (Nederlands Film Festival)
