Rosie was last year's top movie in Switzerland, nominated for countless awards and praised by audiences and critics alike. At the centre of this praise is the extraordinary performance by Sibylle Brunner as a woman, desperate in her old age, who refuses to be helped and who does not want to move to a retirement home. With a simple plot handled with humour, tenderness and respect, Marcel Gisler documents the relationship between a mother and her son, their family secrets, the vulnerability of life and the quirks and phobias of two very distant and different generations.

Through the wonderful character as Rosie, this film explores universal topics such as love, family, destiny and our resistance to our destinies. A simple and truthful masterpiece.
