France, 1870s. Rosalie is a young woman unlike any other. She hides a secret: she was born with a face and body covered in hair. She’s concealed her peculiarity all her life to stay safe, shaving to fit in.

Until Abel, an indebted bar owner unaware of her secret, marries Rosalie for her dowry. Will Abel be able to love Rosalie and see her as the woman she is, once he finds out the truth?

Rialto Recommends ROSALIE is a tender, beautifully drawn period drama about visibility, desire and the courage to stop hiding. Set in 1870s France, it turns one woman’s difference into a quietly powerful story of self-acceptance and love without shame. Elegant, intimate and deeply humane, it asks what it truly means to be seen - not as a curiosity, but as a person.
