Rosie Page #2

Synopsis: In a juvenile lockup, a new ward answers questions: she's Rosie, 13, no parents, a sister Irene, a brother Michel. In flashbacks we find out what happened. She lives with Irene, who's 27, whom Rosie knows is in fact her mother, but that's their secret. Irene's brother Michel, unemployed, a compulsive gambler, comes to stay with them. Around then, Irene meets Bernard; they come to care for each other. This leaves Rosie without attention, so she puts all her adolescent hopes and romantic fantasies into a relationship with Jimi, a good looking kid she sees on a bus. Is it adventures with Jimi that land her in juvie? Once she's there, why doesn't he answer her letters?

One day he showed up unexpectedly

at the palace courtyard.

The tsarina jumped up

and rushed downstairs.

And stroked blindly stroked

each others bodies.

Lingering on the warmest

curves. His hands

...tasted her full shoulders,

Her firm breasts, her slender waist.

Guess...

Who am I?

Who are you?

I am yours and you are mine.

Who am I?

Jimi!

What's it about?

Real heroes.

Real, manly heroes.

Beautiful girls in

gorgeous ball gowns.

Good people always

win and bad people die.

It always ends well

and everyone is happy.

And you, are you happy?

Not like in the book.

That's not possible. It's not real.

Sure it is.

It is possible.

- What do you have to do?

Follow the dictates

of your heart.

Do what you truly want to do.

Do what you want

most in the whole world.

You know what that is?

Look at the clouds

and close your eyes.

Make a wish.

I wish...

I wish... for my mummy

to be happy.

No... You have to wish

something for yourself.

Wishing for another

brings unhappiness.

Do you understand?

I'm happy if she's happy.

'Goldenboy' and 'Geraldo' are

in lead, but not by much.

We still have a lap to go

and it's anyone's guess.

How do I look?

Great... fantastic.

- You've put on some weight?

No, really. I'm serious.

I've got my papers.

- No problems then.

Take off your jacket.

That's Rosie, my little sister.

This is Bernard.

Hello, Rosie.

Hello.

That's my brother, Michel.

Hello.

Take a seat.

There?

Martini?

Mr. Bernard, what do you

do for a living?

I'm a chemist.

Do you earn a lot?

- Rosie, that's enough.

Do you mean am I rich?

- Yes.
