Watching: Rosa

Overview

Set in the suburbs of Paris within a matriarchal community of Chilean women working in the cleaning industry, Rosa follows the discovery of a secret diary. It is both the day after and the morning before: the film occupies a strange space between events, a magical realm. Throughout the film, the protagonists’ inner worlds structure the narrative, guiding us through a melancholic present that is altered by the intervention of a group of guardian angel-like women.
