Thirteen-year-old Rosie (Aranka Coppens) struggles through a rough home life with her negligent mom, Irene (Sara de Roo), and her uncle Michel (Frank Vercruyssen), whose all-consuming passion for gambling often finds him in trouble. With no stable role models, Rosie looks for guidance from her non-judgmental friend Jimmy (Joost Wijnant). However, when the girl yearns for more care than he can give, her growing angst leads to a series of decisions that lands her in juvenile detention.

an awesum movie, a one time experience but it's like impossible to catch it so if you can find this movie on a international art-house TV (thanks to cnbcé in turkey) or in a dvd rental store dont miss it and take the pleasure..

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
