This ironclad drama by the Dardenne brothers vividly portrays the life of a poverty-stricken teenager whose existence is utterly dominated by the need to work to survive. Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
The 17-year-old Belgian Rosetta lives with her mother in poverty in a caravan and tirelessly fights for a permanent job. Each rejection brings her closer to the abyss, but giving up is not an option. Determined, she searches day in and day out for a place in a society that repeatedly excludes her.
With their raw, direct style, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne created a poignant portrait of existential uncertainty and human dignity. Rosetta, winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, is a gripping film about perseverance, poverty, and the value of work.

Never before has money seemed so prominently present in our daily lives. From sky-high housing costs and growing wealth inequality to the power of financial markets: money increasingly determines who gets opportunities, who is left behind, and how much a human life seems to be worth. Yet the subject has occupied filmmakers for more than a century. In Show Me The Money!, we bring together eleven films that explore the many faces of money.
