Rosetta / Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Luc Dardenne |  At night before she goes to sleep, Rosetta has this conversation with herself:“Your name is Rosetta. My name is Rosetta.You found a job. I found a job.You’ve got a friend. I’ve got a friend. You have a normal life. I have a normal life. You won’t fall in the trap. I won’t fall in the trap. Good night. Good night.”This is a young woman determined to find a job at all costs. She is escaping from the world of her alcoholic mother, a tramp who lives in a ramshackle trailer and runs away near the beginning of the story, leaving her daughter to fend for herself. Rosetta sees an abyss yawning beneath her and will go to any lengths to avoid it. Rosetta is obsessed by the fear of disappearing, by the shame of not belonging. She wants a normal life, with them, among them.
