Rose, 78-year-old, has just lost her husband. When her grief gives way to a powerful impulse to live her life, making her realise that she can still redefine herself as a woman, the whole balance of the family is upset. French indie pop icon Aurélie Saada (of the musical duo Brigitte) makes her feature film debut with Rose, an inspiring portrait of a woman about love, life and family starring French icon Françoise Fabian (My Night at Maud’s, Me Myself & Mum, The Thief of Paris). ‘Rose is the story of an intimate revolution, that of a 78-year-old woman who, after losing her beloved husband, discovers herself and realises that she is not only a mother, a grandmother and a widow, but also a woman, and that she has every right to enjoy and to desire until the end of her days,’ says Aurélie Saada who has also composed the score of the film.
